Om Upcycled Echo Keramisk Højttaler
Upcycled Echo er en serie af keramiske smarthøjttalere fremstillet af kasserede keramiske dekaler. I Jingdezhen kasseres omkring 5 procent af de keramiske dekaler hvert år. Disse genindvundne dekaler klippes, rekombineres og collages på holdbare porcelænsskaller, hvorefter de brændes med høj præcision for at beskytte overfladen. Integrerede high-fidelity-komponenter giver en afbalanceret lyd, og højttalerne forbindes til smartphones til musikafspilning og stemmeinteraktion. Designet reducerer industrielt affald og forbinder keramisk tradition med moderne lydteknologi.

- Produktionsteknologi
- The speakers are handcrafted from reclaimed ceramic decals, which are cut, recombined, and collaged onto durable porcelain shells. High-precision ceramic firing ensures surface integrity, while integrated HiFi components provide balanced acoustic performance. The process merges traditional ceramic craftsmanship with modern audio engineering, enabling compact, ergonomic, and visually unique speakers that combine sustainability, aesthetics, and functionality.
- Designudfordring
- The main challenge was transforming discarded ceramic decals into functional, aesthetic HiFi speakers. Internally, we balanced tradition, cultural motifs, and modern design. Externally, constraints included industrial waste quality, material durability, and integrating audio technology. Overcoming these required iterative prototyping, precise collage techniques, and collaboration with local artisans to merge craftsmanship, sustainability, and high-quality sound.
- Forskning
- This design research is a sustainability-driven, applied study aiming to reduce ceramic decal waste and explore cultural innovation. Using field surveys, interviews with Jingdezhen artisans, and analysis of industrial waste data, we identified that about 5% of decals are discarded annually. Experiments with collage techniques and prototype speakers demonstrated functional, artistic upcycling. The insights show that combining tradition with modern technology can create socially and environmentally responsible products, impacting design, culture, and sustainable business practices.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by Jingdezhen’s ceramic industry, where about 5% of decals are discarded annually, this project transforms waste into artistic HiFi speakers. Recombining and handcrafting motifs merges traditional ceramic heritage with modern design, promoting sustainability, cultural preservation, and playful, meaningful interaction.
- Projektvarighed
- The project started in April 2025 in Jingdezhen and finished in September 2025 in Jingdezhen.
- Driftsflow
- This is a series of ceramic smart speakers that connect to smartphones, delivering high-fidelity (HiFi) music playback and voice interaction, providing users with a versatile audio experience.
