"We want to help you sleep better by masking unwanted noise in the bedroom and replacing it with soothing sounds."

We designed Bose's new sleep buds for a new target demographic: the tired wife trying to get a good night's rest next to her snoring husband. As a new product in a new push toward wellness products, we were tasked with creating a distinct design that reflected the nature of the product. We created a minimal set of in-ear buds and paired them with a subtle, monolithic charging station that elicits calm. The associate app departs from the set Bose language as we explored how they might address sleep and wellness.
