"Merge physically separates music into its component layers: the accompaniment on one module, the vocals on another, and the full combined sound handled by the complete assembly. You choose what you hear depending on how the pieces are arranged."
"The three modules connect via electromagnetic induction, which also handles charging between units. It means the product doesn't rely on fiddly clips or pins; the connection is seamless and the experience stays clean."
"When you hold all three pieces assembled, they sit together like a solid little object. When you pull them apart, you're not wrestling with latches. You're just... separating music."
Merge is a conceptual speaker system designed by a team from various institutions, winning a 2025 European Product Design Award. It separates music into layers, allowing users to choose what they hear by rearranging modules. The vocal module can be isolated for karaoke, while the full assembly provides the complete song. The modules connect through electromagnetic induction, ensuring a seamless experience without clips. The design is compact and geometric, providing a visually appealing yet understated aesthetic.
