The objective of this project was the exploration of new applications for existing materials.
DIS-CON is a multipur
Ideation
Materials research led to the selection of porcelain as a durable and elegant material. With existing conferencing systems drawing the users eye downward, DIS-CON was designed to draw the users eyes upward, scaled and adjusted accordingly to meet a height suitable for a surface across which people would be interacting and communicating. Aiming to remove the high-tech complexity of existing conference telephone systems, DIS-CON is a recognizable and aesthetically pleasing form which discreetly acts as a speaker/receiver harnessing bluetooth technology.
The product should be at home in a business environment as well as a private environment. Environmental adaptability should also be possible due to the careful selection of used materials outlined in the CMF below.
