Pebble - the mp3 object
6,652 Views * 4 views today
What if products could take on the diversity of nature?
What if products embodied twists and contours, and off-colored spots?
What if a line of MP3 players, say, could be designed to resemble an array of pebbles scattered along an ocean?’s shore? Or like a basketful of heirloom tomatoes at a farmers?’ market?
Imagine the possibilities of mass customizing with such diversity in mind
How would it change the way we interact with devices?
How would it change the experience of consumption? How would it impact the human-product relationship?

This idea is lovely. It is possible, however, to not a slit between the color screen and the display. If you can make the entire thing pure black when it’s off, This is one MP3 player I would definetly get
useless.
interesting concept, a bit useless, and there could only be so many variations without costing more in production
MP3 players don’t like to get wet, don’t appreciate sand in their USB port.
a tomato has a shape that suits itscharacteristics. turning an MP3 player in to a pebble is as unnatural, maybe even more artificial than a tomato shaped like a teddybear.
manufacturing is based on the idea of uniformity, yet,
have a look at the work of Pieke Bergmans, www.piekebergmans.com
I don’t get it…
“Wow, your’s is shaped differently than mine.”
“Wow, you’re right.”
“Wow. Let me touch the difference.”
“Wow. Different shape. Delicious to mine senses.”
“Wow.”
“Wow.”
The reason everyone wants to touch someone else’s mp3 player is because of its iconic nature…and content. Worthless. Think, freshman, think!
Every stone got diferent shapes it will coast a lot of money to make each mp3 player one by one whit this caracteristics.
But the deisgn is really beautifull i´ll definetly buy one if some one make them
i like this. afterall everyone likes havin their own unique style of things. also, an additional tip -> waterproof mp3 player ^^
I soooooooo want one!!!
Its beautifull!!!!! I loved it. Congratulations
Good idea for security, differentiating people’s electronic devices when ur spending big bucks, but think about what kind of big bucks a company would spend to make all these different shapes??!!!!
Interesting idea, cool mockup. I just don’t see it picking up.
