Kibu Headphones
Wood Pencil / Product Design / Prototypes / 2024
The Kibu headphones are a set of sustainable circular kids headphones designed to be manufactured on demand in the UK. Kibu (KI-ds BU-ild) is a joint venture between the design and innovation studio and the additive manufacturer, set up to demonstrate that tech products can be made in a planet-conscious way and still be beautiful and playful. Components are 3D-printed on-demand from recycled materials, enabling size and colour customisation and repair or recyclability at end-of-life; instilling the principle of swapping parts out and keeping a product in use in kids at an early age.
