Grand Interview

Your innovative integration of a pen holder within Seda Portable Speaker challenges traditional speaker design - could you elaborate on how this multifunctional approach emerged from your creative process?

The idea of integrating a pen holder within Seda originated from the need to create a multifunctional device that goes beyond typical speaker functionality. We wanted Seda to not only deliver high-quality audio but also serve as a practical desk accessory. By combining technology with space organization, Seda enhances modern workspaces, offering both utility and elegance in one compact design.

The ambient light bar feature of Seda Portable Speaker creates an intriguing fusion of illumination and audio - what inspired you to incorporate this distinctive element, and how does it enhance the user experience in home environments?

The ambient light bar was inspired by the desire to create a relaxing atmosphere that complements the audio experience. By incorporating soft lighting, Seda transforms any room into a cozy environment, making it perfect for both work and leisure. This fusion of light and sound enriches the user experience, adding an extra layer of functionality that goes beyond traditional speakers.

Seda Portable Speaker's cylindrical form factor appears to be both aesthetically pleasing and functionally purposeful - could you walk us through the evolution of this design choice and how it optimizes both space utilization and sound projection?

The cylindrical form of Seda was chosen for its ability to optimize space while enhancing sound projection. This shape allows for a 360-degree audio experience, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed throughout the room. Additionally, the cylindrical design supports the integration of multiple features, such as the pen holder and light bar, without compromising aesthetics.
