Cello

Our assignment was to provide Cello with a new front panel design their new line of stereo equipment. Unlike lower priced systems, the new line was devoid of controls and indicators leaving the panel stark. This presented us with the challenge of creating concepts which expressed aesthetic appeal, quality and technological sophistication without compromising the product’s purpose. Our concepts explored design possibilities inspired by jewelry which included combinations of textures, patterns and materials such as stone inlays. These concepts resulted in designs which were truly unique to stereo equipment as illustrated in these renderings.

A few of the concepts were further developed in sketch form and later translated into 3D CAD models as shown in the following pictures.
