N200, a desktop speaker centered on interaction demands of modern users, seamlessly marries practicality functionality with emotional design, aiming to create a relaxing, immersive atmosphere for uses to escape from stress. Drawing inspiration from LEGO’s modular buildings, it grants users the freedom of customization. Meanwhile, interactive components—such as a replaceable front panel, physical buttons, a dot-matrix display, and indicator lights—not only enhance fun of use but also transform the product into a playable, modifiable, and explorable ‘sound companion’ on the desk.
Guided by the principle of ‘Form Follows Function’, N200 adopts a simple geometric shape and the brand’s signature design language, ensuring visual consistency with other audio products from the same brand. In terms of color selection, low-saturation beige as the main color brings a tranquil aesthetic, while bright orange is applied to key interactive components like the volume knob for clear visual guidance. For intuitive operation, each physical button features the same color as the corresponding icons, effectively reducing the cognitive load for users. As for structural design, the product incorporates an integrated metal stand for stable support. The stand also enables multi-angle adjustment, allowing users to customize the speaker’s elevation based on sitting postures/heights and desktop environments. This optimizes sound projection to provide a more immersive and comfortable experience for users.
N200 ingeniously combines plastic, rubber, and metal, which are strategically distributed to demarcate functional zones and offer rich tactile experiences through refined surface treatments. All materials are fully recyclable, embodying the product’s commitment to environmental protection. Additionally, the speaker supports TWS pairing and interactive feedback. Designed as a versatile product, N200 contributes to stress relief for modern users, and spices up space whether it is in a home, an office or other environments.
