About Morningblues A1 Transparante luidspreker
Morningblues A1 is een transparante luidspreker ontworpen voor huiselijke omgevingen. Een nano-lichtgeleidingsplaat en een ultrawit glasoppervlak laten songteksten en andere muzikale informatie in de lucht lijken te zweven. De behuizing is gemaakt van milieuvriendelijk ABS met een matte afwerking, die contrasteert met het heldere weergavegebied. Interne componenten, kabels en het akoestische kanaal zijn in de behuizing verborgen om de vorm eenvoudig te houden. Eén enkele draaiknop regelt het volume en de bevestiging, terwijl een speciale app lettertypen, animaties, witte ruis, een fotolijstmodus of een klokmodus instelt.

- Unique Properties
- This speaker embraces the concept of audiovisual sharing, using an innovative transparent display to make lyrics, melody, and musical information appear to float in the middle of the air, transforming music from a purely auditory experience into an immersive spatial narrative that can be seen and felt. The speaker immerses users in a space that bridges the real and the virtual, redefining how users interact with music.

- Production Technology
- Its interior includes a nano light guide plate while the exterior is covered with ultra white glass, ensuring clear, floating visuals. The main body is made of ecofriendly ABS material, finished with a delicate matte texture that feels warm and soft to the touch, providing a pleasant contrast to the transparent display area and adding depth to the visual experience.
- Design Challenge
- One of the main design challenges was concealing all the internal components within the transparent body to avoid visual clutter from cables or complex structures. The design team carefully redefined the acoustic path, organizing the speakers, circuits, and wiring so that the functional components remain invisible but audible, ensuring high sound quality while preserving the transparency of the design.
- Research
- The speaker tackles the limitations of traditional speakers like design homogeneity, difficulty integrating into home environments, and the limited emotional expression. Rather than focusing only on audio, it visualizes lyrics and emotions, connecting hearing and seeing. With its minimalist form and versatile content display, the speaker naturally blends into living spaces, turning from a functional into an emotionally engaging home device, balancing aesthetic value and practical functionality.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by Eastern aesthetics, particularly the concepts of ethereal and negative space. It aims to create a space where music feels alive and free, using transparent display. The ritual of floating display cases in museums and the warm, intuitive interactions of vintage radios also play a key role in shaping the design. Overall, the speaker is designed to blend seamlessly into its environment, becoming an integral part of the space it occupies.
- Project Duration
- The project was completed in January 2020 in Wuxi, Jiangsu, and launched through crowdfunding, raising over 6 million CNY in its first round, achieving 100 percent of its funding goal. The second generation product is expected to be released between May and June 2026.
- Operation Flow
- The speaker features only a single knob for volume adjustment and confirmation. More advanced settings are handled through the dedicated app. Users can set the font style and animation of dynamic lyrics, combine white noise and scene effects, or switch to digital photo frame or artistic clock. It keeps the interface simple while allowing customization for different scenarios and personal preferences. This ensures that every interaction fits the mood and needs of users.
