Dandelion Seed: A Speaker Light Inspired by Nature

Bringing the Beauty of Plants into Your Home

The design of this product is based on respect for plants as living beings that human beings ignore. It has been tried to create meaning to this design, that people reflect it in their lives. This product includes the three levels of a dandelion's life: seed, growing, and death. This speaker light, designed by Mohammad Mahdi Najafi, combines art, technology, and nature to create a unique and captivating experience.

What sets the Dandelion Seed speaker light apart is its ability to merge form and function seamlessly. This design not only provides high-quality sound with its 360-degree speaker, but it also emits a soft and soothing light, creating a sense of tranquility in any space. The magnetic field technology used in this design gives the illusion of levitation, adding an element of wonder and enchantment.

One of the key strengths of this design is its ability to evoke emotions and relieve stress. The combination of the user's feelings and cutting-edge technology makes this speaker light an unforgettable addition to any home or office. It serves as a reminder to reconnect with nature and find moments of peace in our busy lives.

The realization of this design involved the use of glass-blowing techniques to create a hollow glass ball with five holes for batteries and LED lights. A magnet placed at the bottom of the ball creates a magnetic field, allowing it to levitate. To ensure stability, a small black sponge ball with a six-way piece inside is inserted into the glass ball.

Technical specifications of the Dandelion Seed speaker light include dimensions of 150 mm x 150 mm x 280 mm, a light speaker function, and the use of magnetic field technology. It can be easily connected to any device via Bluetooth technology, providing a seamless and convenient user experience.

The Dandelion Seed speaker light was conceptualized and brought to life by Mohammad Mahdi Najafi in Esfahan, Iran. The design process began in October 2020 and was completed in December 2020, resulting in a product that seamlessly blends art, technology, and nature.

Extensive research was conducted on magnetic field technology and glass-blowing techniques to overcome the creative and technical challenges associated with this design. The goal was to create a speaker light that not only captivates with its aesthetics but also provides a meaningful and immersive experience for users.

The Dandelion Seed speaker light has garnered recognition in the design community and was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2021. This prestigious award is a testament to the innovative and practical nature of this design, which integrates industry best practices and competent technical characteristics.

With the Dandelion Seed speaker light, you can bring the beauty of nature into your home while enjoying high-quality sound and a sense of tranquility. It serves as a reminder to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and find moments of peace in our busy lives.
