ABOUT

MP3 BLOBJECT

PERSONAL PROJECT

A blobject is a design product, often a brightly-coloured household object which has smooth curves and no sharp edges. The word is a portmanteau of "blob" and "object". - Wikipedia.com

This project revolved around taking two cheap, boring, and under-designed objects and turning it into something greater than the sum of its parts. The visual style of the device is inspired by the Blobject design trend. Devices such as the iMac G3, iBook Clamshell, and Rock Candy Xbox 360 controllers were most drawn from.
