About Upcycled Echo Seramik Hoparlör
Upcycled Echo, atılmış seramik çıkartmalarından üretilen bir seramik akıllı hoparlör serisidir. Jingdezhen'de her yıl seramik çıkartmalarının yaklaşık yüzde 5'i atık olarak elden çıkarılmaktadır. Geri kazanılan bu çıkartmalar kesilerek yeniden birleştirilir ve dayanıklı porselen gövdeler üzerine kolaj tekniğiyle uygulanır; ardından yüzeyi korumak amacıyla yüksek hassasiyetle fırınlanır. Gövdeye entegre edilen yüksek sadakatli bileşenler dengeli bir ses sunar; hoparlörler müzik çalma ve sesli etkileşim için akıllı telefonlara bağlanabilir. Tasarım, endüstriyel atığı azaltırken seramik geleneğini modern ses teknolojisiyle buluşturur.

- 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.
