PERSONAL PROJECT | 2022
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN & CMF
Buddees earphones were conceived as a response to a growing demand for audio devices that do more than just perform, they express personality, complement style, and adapt seamlessly to both active and everyday settings. The vision behind the project was to create a product that strikes the ideal balance between sporty utility and lifestyle appeal. With their bold, ergonomic, and playful design, Buddees are tailored for users who move through diverse environments without compromising on comfort or aesthetic.
The design process began with extensive research into competitor products, design innovations, and CMF (Color, Material, Finish) trends. This foundational work enabled a unique identity for Buddees to be defined in an already saturated market. By blending the silicone hooks typically found in high-performance sport earphones with the clean, stem-like profile of lifestyle models, Buddees offer a hybrid solution. This ensures both a secure fit and an instantly recognizable design language rooted in organic inspiration, drawing on natural forms like pebbles and seeds to create a soft, approachable aesthetic.

Color and material played a central role in amplifying the playful and energetic spirit of Buddees. A bold and vibrant palette was carefully curated, inspired by the dynamic hues found in nature - vivid flowers, lush foliage, and sunlit landscapes. These colors bring life to the product, making it not only a functional device but also a personal statement. Soft-touch materials and matte finishes add a layer of tactile richness, reinforcing both the premium quality and the inviting nature of the earphones.
The charging case mirrors the earphones’ design philosophy, embracing a smooth, organic form that feels natural in the hand. Its soft curves and minimal lines reflect the same thoughtful simplicity found in the earbuds themselves. Beyond aesthetics, the case is designed for intuitive use and portability, while the ergonomic features of the earphones ensure a snug and secure fit. With silicone hooks for stability and soft ear tips that create an immersive seal, Buddees provide both comfort and audio performance—whether you're on a run or relaxing at home.
