This thesis explores the design of a tactile loudspeaker that combines modern functionality with nostalgic interaction. With the aim of creating a product that resonates emotionally with modern nostalgists, this project focusses on the user group that values the physical engagement of vintage audio devices alongside modern convenience. In collaboration with audio brand Devoonsounds, the project follows the Double Diamond methodology through discovery, definition, development and final product delivery.

Through market analysis, trend research and targeted user interviews, the need for a speaker that prioritises interaction, aesthetics and emotional resonance was identified. The project translates these insights into a product concept by exploring interaction mechanisms such as rotation and expansion that encourage ritualistic use. Prototypes were tested with users to validate the emotional and functional appeal of tactile engagement. User testing validated the design's ability to support intuitive interaction and emotional connection, while feedback informed final design refinements.

The final design integrates directional control, modular interaction, and visual integration into home environments. Allowing for user-driven positioning and acoustic personalisation. Material selection, manufacturability and cost estimation were considered to ensure feasibility and viability in small series production. This work contributes to the Devoonsounds portfolio by introducing a speaker concept that shifts the focus from purely technical performance to sensory and emotional experience.
