DESIGN NAME: Remora
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bluetooth Speaker
INSPIRATION: It is designed for the need to listen to music while cooking in the kitchen. It is aimed that both the phone and the speaker are kept clean since it is not placed on the counter. The form is inspired by the sound waves and thus the form and the function are compatible with each other. There are 3 colour options.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: With this design it is aimed to make a bluetooth speaker that can be attached to flat surfaces by vacuum. It will be placed on the desired surface and will be attached to the flat surface with the help of the sucker cup which is concealed underneath. The user connects this speaker to the phone or other device and obtains the desired sound. It can be placed in the kitchen, especially in the section between the countertop and the upper cupboard which is located above the counter.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: It is charged for a while after being removed from the box. After it is rested on the surface it will be placed, the part touching the surface is rotated with the help of the arm and secured by the sucker cup. It is turned on with the help of the button in the lower right corner. It is connected to phone or another selected source to provide the desired level of sound.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in Ankara in February 2017 and was completed in January 2018 in Ankara.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Digital and Electronic Device Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: It is designed in pieces to be produced with ABS plastic. The pieces will be shaped by injection and they will be assembled. Inside are speakers and bluetooth access components. Thanks to the sucker cup, it will be produced with a light weight to carry itself on the surface it rests on. It is a rechargeable product.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Length 20cm x Width 20 cm x Heigth 6 cm
TAGS: Sound, kitchen, wave, color, bluetooth
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research on Bluetooth technology and sucker cup systems has been done. The loudspeaker is designed considering the injection production techniques.
CHALLENGE: Simply spreading the sound in waves in the space is reflected in the form. Using the wave in the form to provide the volume needed to create the bass sounds, the overlap of the function and the form created the challenge of this design.
