Eunsu Lee designs the Whistle speaker, which is a tranquil device that wakes users up in a soothing way. It exudes a calming serenade inspired by the future and this stemmed from a personal experience of Lee's during a trip to Singapore. When at the hotel, he was awoken by a gentle birdsong, and that had left a lasting positive impression.
This led to the fruition of Whistle. It relies on the power of nature to create a more pleasant experience in the morning. In terms of the exterior design, there are four products lined up: The Whistle speaker and battery, which is a custom alarm, the Whistle Nest, which is a charging pad, and the Whistle Branch, a light and speaker.
