OPPO Industrial Design Team Wireless Headphones Consumer Electronics Saturday, 3 October 2026

Oppo Enco Q1

Oppo Enco Q1 is a pair of wireless neckband headphones with active noise cancelling. The neckband has a unibody form with a seamless surface, so no seams touch the skin. Less dirt is trapped during long use, and cleaning stays easy. The neckband is over-molded thermoplastic polyurethane with a built-in memory titanium alloy thread, so the shape is retained after bending and twisting. The earbuds have double injection-molded silicone ear tips that seal out noise. All controls sit on one side, and three buttons allow single-handed operation.

Jeffrey Geiringer Portable Table Lamp 3D Printing Wednesday, 30 September 2026

Quintessence Spectrum Series

Spectrum Series is a limited edition of portable table lamps with three-dimensional printed lattice shades. Each lamp is generated by a parametric process, so every silhouette and lattice pattern differs. The shades are printed from recycled PLA using purpose-written machine code, which gives clean and precise lattice lines. The base recalls an old candlestick holder and can be carried by its stem. The battery powered lamp is switched on and dimmed by touching a small knob on the base. Each lamp is produced only once and includes a certificate of authenticity.

Serpentinata Benjamin Pen

KAIRI EGUCHI Pen 3D Printing Tuesday, 29 September 2026

Serpentinata Benjamin

Serpentinata Benjamin is a ballpoint pen produced with 3D printing. All parts except the refill are 3D printed. The pen is transparent when new and gradually turns yellow with use, especially when exposed to sunlight. Yellowing of plastic under ultraviolet light is usually seen as a defect in industrial products, and Serpentinata Benjamin treats the change as a positive quality. Each pen develops its own color over time, in the way that musical instruments, leather goods and wooden furniture age with their owners. The pen measures 9.5 by 9.5 by 105 millimeters including the cap.
