Hello World.
Portfolio 013
Nathalie Oprisand I’m currently studying Industrial Design at School of Design Pforzheim University
Hi, My name is
Nowadays, designers are in due to have a
holistic approach to their job because of the
growing issues concerning our so-
cial, economic and ecologic future.
Therefore, in all of my projects, I focus on the
whole production cycle by contemplating on
material, probable effects and semantics.
Analizing mechanisms and transitions and iden-
tifying social trends is one of my strengths,
which I always try to blend into my work.
I love experiments and metaphores, travel-
ling, music and visual compositions of all kinds.

Beirut | Ripol Speakers | _for genius | Diametral (...in progress)
Content
The band Beirut combines fragments
of folk music from the balcanic cul-
ture, with smooth electronic com-
ponents and maritime male choirs.
The arising atmosphere is one of
a melancholic, but solemn nature.
Bottles, ropes, ceramics are substantial
stylistic devices at this point.
“Design compact speakers
for a band of your choice.”
Beirut Speakers
Bringing archetypesto abstraction
The German audio-engineer Axel Ridtahl-
er is the inventor of the “Ripol” concept.
My goal was to integrate the system and
optimize the whole idea of this high-end
speaker system by adapting it to future liv-
ing conditions. Both speaker projects were
realized in the second term of 2012.
Ripol Speakers
Top View
Front
The Ripol concept refers to the
bass part of a high-end speaker
system. It consists of two chassis
instead of one. The chassis are
oriented towards each other.
This system achieves an artificial
amplification, sounds cleaner and
more natural. Specifically, the lis-
tener has to be positioned right
in front or behind the speaker.

_ for geniusAs a new interpretation of the
present working conditions “_for
genius” represents a fusion be-
tween working desk and suitcase.
The dynamic construction is de-
signed to be a useful item in the life
of architects and designers. It is made
out of formed wood and perspex.
The three-legged table is assem-
bled without using any screws.
The felt suitcase is portable, but
also part of the furnishing object.
The play between fragility and sta-
bility reflects the dynamics of
current manners of work.

Our Accessoire collection is avail-
able in our stores in Seoul and Tel Aviv.
Exhibitions and concerts in the stores
and cooperations with young artists are
our inspiration for further collections.
Our marketing concept aims to dissoci-
ate from customary “BRAND thinking”.

Various There are a lot of different things I do...
just because I love experiments.
Every action is integrated in my
design process. Just a few examples...

It’s pretty simple. You can barely
find a better means of description
and expression, than photography.
