The Design

About Model One Dab Internetradio

Model One er en DAB internetradio, som blander de autentiske materialer med de nye teknologier. Træskabet forlænges yderligere til fronten, mens det dækker en firkantet del for at understrege træmaterialets autenticitet mere. Både kontrolpanelet og displayet har mat, anti-refleksbehandling for at holde teknologien usynlig og skjult og fremme den reelle materialeanvendelse i produktet. Den trådløse opladning på toppen hjælper brugeren med at opretholde lange timer med at nyde musikken, mens de oplader deres mobile enheder og holder radioen i centrum af livet igen.

Unique Properties: Model One is a DAB internet radio which blends the authenticity of wood material and the wireless charging for the mobile phone into a new unique design style.

Dimensions & Packaging: Width 250 mm x Depth 200 mm x Height 100 mm
Tags: wood, radio, internet, audio, sound, wireless, charging, mobile phone
Production Technology: Body is made of wood. This particular wood allows to increase the thickness of the cabinet to achieve a better sound. The control panel and back cover are made of ABS plastic.
Design Challenge: Wooden radio is a very polluted market with many similar designs. the challenge in this project was to provide a unique style, while keeping the cabinet as wood. The proportions and visual balance between the wood and plastic was the real attention point during the design process.
Research: DAB Internet Radio is a product with a specialised target user. During the research stage, first an email based online survey with the help of internet radio channels was conducted and the user personas are created accordingly. A further research is created by asking more design relevant questions with a more selected audience through online interviews. The feedbacks related to increasing visibility of the "wood feeling" in the front face and charging mobile devices while operating the radio were proved to be essential needs of the target user.
Inspiration: Wood has always been a true material bringing elegance and authenticity into the use environment. The main inspiration point in this project was to create a design which promotes the technology in an hidden way to keep the elegance high.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2019 and finished in March 2020 in Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: the control panel is located in the front. there is an OLED screen to show the functions and operated by 2 knobs and button combinations. There is a separated CD player located on the top of the front panel.
