Brief
Alloy designed the Inverse over-ear headphones as part of a connected audio product family. The headphones extend the visual and material language of the Inverse speaker system into a wearable form, combining a minimal industrial design with finishes suitable for home, travel, and daily use. The product was developed to function as both an audio device and a visually distinctive consumer electronics product.
Outcome: Premium headphone industrial design with physical prototypes and visual assets prepared for product development, marketing, and investor presentation.
