Dandelion Seed
Dandelion Seed is a speaker with an integrated light. The design is based on respect for plants as living beings. The form refers to three stages of a dandelion life: seed, growing and death. A hollow glass ball is made by glass blowing and holds batteries and LED lights. Magnetic field technology gives the ball a sense of levitating above the base. Sound is spread in 360 degrees, and a device can be connected by Bluetooth. The music played by the speaker is presented as a symbol of the silent sound of the plant. The soft light is intended to help people relax.
Dandelion Seed Speaker Light by Mohammad Mahdi Najafi was identified as an outstanding representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award.

The A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize which rewards excellent design of smartphones, laptops, televisions, cameras, headphones, smartwatches, gaming consoles, tablets and more.
