Headphone

Timeline 2 weeks Tools Solidworks & Keyshot
Context
This project reimagines the traditional headphone as a strong visual statement. Using SolidWorks, I developed a squared form with a mosaic pearl inspired surface to create a bold and sculptural look. The goal was to shift headphones from a simple tech accessory to a visually expressive object. Final renders in KeyShot highlight the materials, lighting, and finish to emphasize its aesthetic impact.
