Connectivity Concept is an eclectic family of six connected products in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom Design.

Home Harmony

The collection is the most recent in a series of projects from LAYER that challenge the conventional design language and materiality of technology to define a new vision for unobtrusive smart devices in the home.

The collection comprises six products – a router, mesh repeater, set-top box/soundbar with webcam, set-top box, and remote. Each device features gentle geometric forms, discreet interfaces, and is crafted from tactile materials that take inspiration from residential interior design.

Our Role

LAYER led a visionary project to define the future roadmap for Deutsche Telekom, which involved strategic research into user behaviours, an intensive design and conceptualisation process, and the development of prototypes and photo-realistic visuals. The prototypes were showcased in an immersive exhibition in Milan, also designed by LAYER.

“We wanted a different perspective on the devices that we see and use every day. LAYER was highly recommended and has incredible experience collaborating with brands that are driving consumer electronics in a progressive direction.”
