Portable Tactile Interface Speakers

The 'NOTA' Speaker Has a Textured, Interactive Design

— September 17, 2019 — Tech
The 'NOTA' speaker is a portable audio solution that puts a focus on a tactile interface and finish to let users enjoy a textured device that's ready for use in-home or out of the house. The speaker features a tubular aesthetic that is finished on the exterior section with a textured grille that creates both visual and tactile intrigue. A built-in control wheel provides effective control over the volume and also further enhances the textural finish of the device.

The 'NOTA' speaker is the design work of Nuri Badur and Muhammet Uzuntaş, and has been conceptually packaged in an acrylic case that highlights the vibrant product within to eliminate the need for a more fanciful finish on the outside.
