Oupio Sculpts Glass, Wood, and Metal Into Light and Sound
The Oupio sculptural wireless speaker and lamp are designed to match the human circadian rhythm.
With the spectral appearance of a large floating eyeball, the spherical and sculptural Oupio serves dual purposes as an internet-connected lighting solution and wireless audio speaker contained with a minimalist expression of glass, wood, and metal.
Within the Oupio twenty 1-watt LEDs are capable of producing a peak intensity of 2000 lumens, with a temperature range engineered to simulate sunset yellow (2700K) all the way to white light similar to the midday sun (6000K).
Oupio founder, designer, and former architect Vlad Iorgulescu cites the experimental science of neuroaesthetics ? the combinations aesthetics and psychology in service of “perception, production, and response to art, as well as interactions with objects and scenes that evoke an intense feeling, often of pleasure” ? as a guiding principle for designing an object reactive to human needs such as mood and health. ?And while current technologies offer a vast array of functionality, they also create a vast array of clutter,” says Iorgulescu, “So we also need hybrid products, with mixed functionality, that merge tech with interior design principles and, as a result, seamlessly integrate in any home environment.?
Complementary to the Oupio’s lighting is a wireless audio speaker system (via Bluetooth and also with an audio-in port). Sound is produced with a Balance Mode Radiator ...
