About Upcycled Echo Keramikas skaļrunis
Upcycled Echo ir keramikas viedo skaļruņu sērija, kas izgatavota no izbrāķētām keramikas dekolēm. Dzjindedžeņā katru gadu tiek izmesti aptuveni 5 procenti keramikas dekoļu. Šīs atgūtās dekoles tiek sagrieztas, pārkombinētas un kolāžas veidā uzklātas uz izturīgiem porcelāna korpusiem, pēc tam ar augstu precizitāti apdedzinātas, lai aizsargātu virsmu. Iebūvētie augstas precizitātes skaņas komponenti nodrošina līdzsvarotu skanējumu, un skaļruņi savienojas ar viedtālruņiem mūzikas atskaņošanai un balss mijiedarbībai. Dizains samazina rūpnieciskos atkritumus un sasaista keramikas tradīcijas ar mūsdienu audio tehnoloģijām.

- Tags
- Ceramic Speakers, Smart Audio, HiFi Sound, Upcycled Materials, Sustainability, Jingdezhen Ceramic, Handcrafted Collage, Cultural Heritage, Interactive Design, Eco-friendly Design
- Production Technology
- 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.
- Design Challenge
- 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.
- Research
- 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.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2025 in Jingdezhen and finished in September 2025 in Jingdezhen.
- Operation Flow
- 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.
