iLIfe Router Series

Here is a series of routers design for Orange, which is the key brand of France Telecom, one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators.

The goal of this project was to design a series of routers for home users. In the research of the market, plenty of users hope the router is a decorator on their desk beside the computer not a cold ugly device only. Depend on the requirement, the aim to identify an essential design approach, and to create simple yet personal, sentient objects.

Concept 1

Frame

Based on the research of this project, it was obviously noticed that people would like to put their photo frames beside their computers on the desk. So this was the original idea that combining the two things together. And I decided to make the form simple and pure to suit the target group.

Concept 2

Piano

This concept of  routers is inspired by the reflection of piano keys.

The surface of it is procedded by two different ways,  so even it is painted in same color, the dissimilar reflection keepss the sense of piano.
