2019: Self Treat
Self Treat is a vision piece designed to increase self-management of minor health conditions.

2013: Chüne
Chüne is an internet-connected social music speaker that intelligently curates playlists depending on who is around, and how much fun they’re having.
Chüne allowed social music listeners to tap their phone on the speaker to add their taste to a shared playlist, while an app keeps track of what they like to listen to and lets Chüne know.
The team were roboticist Zassa Kavuma, communication designer Kilian Bochnig, and industrial designer Victor Johansson.
