The Objet sonore is a sound machine that replaces conventional controls with an embedded sensor in its ceramic cast shell. With the organic surface as the main component, it invites to haptic interactions without the typical associations with electronic devices. Controlled only by touch and playing into its non-tech character, the indiscernible, downward-facing speakers make use of sound reflection which is inspired by the famous building Gol Gumbaz in India. In addition the object features an access point for sound upload and remote audio controls. With the courtesy of Bethan Kellough’s, the base configuration plays her recordings of audio phenomena around the world for the "New York Times".
