A Waterproof Bluetooth speaker that loves pool parties.
Intro
Throw it in the pool...hang it in the shower...take it on the boat...that’s what the Cylo Cannonball Mini is all about. Boasting full 360° surround sound, IPX7 waterproofing, and up to 8-hours of playback, Cylo Cannonball Mini is ready to rock out wherever life takes you.
Not only does it float, Cylo Cannonball Mini can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water. It is also designed to automatically resurface, self-right and drain all in a matter of seconds. Making playing your tunes on water just as easy as it is on dry land.

Process
My role in the project was as the lead designer. I was responsible for developing the ID and how the unit would function. I also worked closely with engineers to finalize all the production details prior to tooling and production. Besides creating an aesthetic that was clean yet functional, the biggest and most challenging aspect of the design was its ability to resurface, reorientate and drain all without any input from the user. Getting the weight, center of mass and positioning of the driver correct was extremely critical in making these three features work as intended. Solving these design challenges involved a lot of testing and prototyping.
