Wellbeing & Healing
Increasingly growing importance of energy in line with depleting energy and increasing electronics.
It’s necessary to deal with energy crisis.
‘Outdoor Life’ Trend on the back of ‘Wellbeing fever has become important factor enhancing our living quality.
Eco We need to recognize the importance of our valuable environment as our living quality has been enhanced.
Technology
Amber Project
Sphelar® Advantages of Sphelar® Capturing rays from all directions, Sphelar® cell can receive sunlight more effectively and contantly than conventional flat solar cells. Besides, this technology brings innovation to module design. Due to structure of module based on tiny cells, Sphelar® has flexibility in designing electrical specifications and shape of modules. Different product development projects are on-going.
To extend application range of solar The originality of Sphelar® comes from the position of two electrodes in opposite sides. This structure makes 3dimensional light capturing feasible and extend application range, from horizontal installation to integration into curved surface and 3-dimensional solar modules.

Technology use
Creating fresh image through various 3D texture, making use of speaker grill material.
Creating new function & formative elements using material characteristics.
Breaking existing formative mold using technology.
Although current existing solar speakers and concepts allow users to enjoy ‘music life’ as long as there is a source of energy, the lack of direction of the solar panels and form’s limitations disrupt its usability.
Specific target
Creating new image by incorporating the function which the target requires.
New design DNA Need of fresh formative elements using the material, technology and needs.

Look & Feel ; Spangles (Amber)
Existing solar-powered speakers contain flat panels that create very rugged and rough aesthetics. This point can be fixed with the technology of Sphelar® , to offer users a very accessible design.
“Bubbles from heat treatment process create ‘linear spangles’ which looks like lily pad and such image is incorporated in formative elements.”
