gm Creature and Spyro<br />
“Creature was simply an<br />
expression. The design<br />
happened in an inspiration<br />
moment that came to me when<br />
I was thinking to myself, ‘I’m<br />
tired of seeing six sided boxes.’<br />
Everybody is doing six sided<br />
boxes, they’re painted grey<br />
and relating to the monitor.<br />
Essentially the concept of this<br />
was a little creature which<br />
bubbles at your desk and<br />
pops up and becomes alive. I<br />
saw the Creature with its own<br />
personality. You’ll notice the<br />
face mask on the satellites,<br />
those are actually wave guides<br />
for acoustics. They’re were<br />
designed to be an ambiguous<br />
face where you can project<br />
your own emotions on it. Some<br />
people see it as friendly, scary<br />
and even clover looking. The<br />
Spyro was inspired by pure<br />
happiness. I thought to myself<br />
one day, could I sketch out<br />
an emotion, something that<br />
represents ‘happy?’ It turned into<br />
a Spirograph type of thing that<br />
looked flowerly.”<br />

“These days products in the space are<br />
lifestyle products; they’re integrating in<br />
peoples’ living environments, so we’re<br />
trying to address that with our industrial<br />
design,” said Solland. “There are more<br />
and more people using these types<br />
of products in more and more rooms<br />
in their house, we want the ability to<br />
integrate with their decor. This is one of<br />
the key reasons the multimedia line is<br />
running multiple designs.”<br />
