Design Progression
Tracing the journey from initial sketches through multiple prototypes to the final production-ready design.
Initial Sketches
Exploring organic forms inspired by natural sound absorption patterns found in forests and caves.
Form Studies
Refining proportions and testing scale against human factors data for optimal comfort.
Foam Mockup
Full-scale prototype built from foam core to validate ergonomics and spatial relationships.
3D Printed Components
Testing modular connection system and ventilation mechanisms with functional prototypes.
Final Prototype
Production-representative prototype with actual materials for final validation and photography.
