Project Team: Sorawit Klaimark, Paride Piccinini, Anuradha Viswanathan
Sound Design Project Tutors: Anders Petter Andersson, Fredrik Oloffson
Part of Master Course in ‘Interior Design Special Edition: ‘Contemporary Living’ Milan, Italy from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, Milan, Italy

I worked with two other students to experiment with various sensors, by making an inanimate everyday object, an Ashtray on a garbage bin, interact, combining  music, sound design, interaction design, experience design and service design using Arduino guided by Sweden’s most experienced interactive sound furniture designers as our faculty.

We also included a social message through the object i.e. The Ashtray coughs when it senses too much heat (through cigarette butts). The prototype was placed inside the school campus and caused quite a stir.
