About Dominote Bluetooth Speaker
Dominote is 3-directional, bi-color Bluetooth speaker. The top control panel is inspired by the shape of a domino or a dice. Five dots are now useful buttons. The side panels of the speaker are influenced by a retro TV design. The name refers to the word "Dominate" but it's actually a combination between "Domino", because of the shape of the top panel, and "Note" for its audio function. The carcass is made of plastic with reinforced rubber edges.

Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to merging retro TV aesthetics with domino-inspired controls in the Dominote Bluetooth Speaker has earned recognition at the A' Design Award - could you elaborate on how this unique fusion of design elements came to life?
Following the saying that "Everything new is well-forgotten old", i think there are plenty of good old designs which can be used for something fresh.
The Dominote Bluetooth Speaker's bi-color design and three-directional sound output present an intriguing balance between form and function - what inspired your decision to prioritize these specific features in the final design?
Choosing the dual color look was part of the specific desired aesthetic. Color minimalizm if i can say. Three speakers seemed the only practical solution to achieve better sound with such a small device.
How did your background in electrical engineering influence the technical decisions and sound configuration choices made during the development of the Dominote Bluetooth Speaker?
In this particular project, very helpful. Having idea of the electronic part of the product, it helps to optimize the shape and internal space.
