The Project :
POSS Home is the perfect compromise between sound quality and mobility. This speaker has been designed to sit comfortably in your living room as well as your garden or rooftop thanks to its 18 hour battery life. A lot of effort has been made in creating the aluminum handle that runs around the casing to become the feet of the speaker. It is available in black.
The Home is part of the range of 4 speakers that was designed to be compact, portable, and complementary to one other with one common feature: stereo multi-pairing! We have reduced the number of control buttons to a minimum and integrated a seamless 360° fabric wrapping to give a sophisticated and proprietary look to the family.

Behind the scenes
In 2017 we have decided to completely revamp our audio product line to propose products up to date with new user’s behavior regarding music. This new range of 4 speakers is unique, iconic, and innovative, and meets our customers’ 3 primary requirements: price, quality, and functionality. It was designed to be compact, water proof, portable, and complementary to one another with one common feature: stereo multi-pairing! We have reduced the number of control buttons to a minimum and integrated a seamless 360° fabric wrapping to give a sophisticated, urban and proprietary look to the family.
Overall, this project was a huge journey, designing a new line of audio products from scratch. We faced big challenges like figuring out the integration of the seamless 360° fabric wrapping. But by adapting our process, sharing good practices and working hand-in-hand with our factory partner, our Hong Kong team managed to launch a successful family of audio products to the market.
