Nest Audio
Nest Audio was my first project at Google, a new affordable speaker to extend Google line up. We wanted to use more fabric to cover the “tech” and have a product that will feel like a piece of furniture within the home and blend nicely. Nest Audio was intended to be paired with a TV but the tech was not available for us at the time. The project was paused at P1 and restarted a year later, Diana was leading the development since I was working on Google Wifi. Overall design stayed pretty close to the version I had.

Soft, elegant curves inspired by furniture (chairs, sofa, pillows) to fit in every home. The volume interaction is hidden under the fabric to remove any complexity and keep the essential. Leds are showing their location when the user is close.
