Cadence
Product Design
2024
A Symphony of Colour, Sound and Texture
On the surface, Cadence appears just as any other decorative audio panelling system. But behind the panels lies a lot of research into history, psychology, and technology; from the modern day, dating back to the work of Newton in 1666.
Cadence’s panels are a direct visual translation of sound. Using the Cadence software, any piece of music can be directly translated into colour, form and texture - creating 0.5-second visual snippets of layered audio, which can then be transformed into these retro-inspired ‘units’. The different layers of each cadence ‘unit’ presents the different layers of the song at that time; basslines, instruments, and vocals - allowing the user to really feel and see their piece of music. Each central façade provides consistency, further personalisation, and a textured surface produced by the software, allowing the user to trace the movements of their music as it travels along the wall.
The panels are made of experimental composite material, consisting of reclaimed wood shavings and a bio-degradable adhesive - further exploring sustainable opportunities within the audio panelling industry. From music lovers in their home, to grand commercial halls, cadence can be personalised for anyone; encapsulating the power of music, for everyone.
