Continuing our long-standing collaboration with DALI, we designed the Sound Hub - the “brain” of their next-generation wireless speaker system. The Sound Hub needed to combine all connections, wireless streaming, and expansion modules into a single compact box that looks great in the living room without feeling complicated.

Our role

Made By Makers handled the industrial design and user experience. The job was to make advanced technology easy to use and pack it into a clean, Scandinavian aesthetic that fits DALI's DNA.

Process

We focused heavily on shape, materials, and controls. A key feature of the design became the large central volume dial with a built-in LED display, providing quick and clear visual feedback.

Result

The DALI Sound Hub ties the entire sound system together in a timeless, simple design. It streams uncompressed audio wirelessly to the speakers, eliminating all cable clutter from the living room.

To deliver true hi-fi speaker performance in a portable format, the DALI iO-8 headphones merges high-end acoustic engineering with refined wearable ergonomics. The design integrates custom-developed 50 mm paper fibre drivers, advanced digital electronics into a lightweight, durable form factor and aims to balance intuitive daily comfort with a clean, sophisticated aesthetic.

Our role

We aimed to create headphones that feel like a well-thought-out lifestyle product rather than just another gadget. It was all about finding the right balance between comfortable ergonomics, a solid fit on the head, and a clean Scandinavian look that fits DALI's DNA.

Process

We worked closely on ergonomics, materials, and through physical prototype rounds. Materials were chosen for durability and comfort: real leather, brushed aluminum, and long-lasting fabrics. We fine-tuned the fit to distribute weight evenly and ensure the ear cups seal well for good passive noise reduction - always keeping the user in focus.

Result

The outcome is a timeless, durable, and comfortable design built for daily wear. Combining expressive acoustic performance with effortless wearability, it seamlessly balances personal style and the demands of the modern user's lifestyle.

swIMAGINE Wear brings the fluid resistance of water to everyday land workouts through an adjustable vest and tubing system - designed for everything from light walking to strength training. Made By Makers helped translate the early concept into a market-ready product by providing design input, technical drawings, visual instructions and marketing assets.

“

We have been very pleased with a great and value-creating collaboration with Made By Makers, who from the very start demonstrated a strong understanding of our concept and situation. Made By Makers challenged us to become even sharper on our concept, products, and target audience, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

- swIMAGINE team

Our role

Made By Makers contributed to both the wearable's concept development and visual branding materials, including user guide illustrations and custom packaging graphics. For the vest and tubing system, we defined functional requirements, gathered material benchmarks, and developed sketch-level design concepts to establish a consistent, ergonomic product aesthetic. To support the launch, we built a scalable visual asset library that provides swIMAGINE with a flexible marketing toolkit across all touchpoints.

Process

We started by mapping out product requirements, curating material samples, and sketching early concepts for the vest and tubes. These ideas were turned into technical drawings, used to align with manufacturing partners. By focusing on user-friendliness and design-for-manufacturability for the initial launch, we ensured a smooth path to production while simultaneously developing visual branding materials and user instruction guides.

Result

The project resulted in a unified product and brand presentation that provided swIMAGINE with technical visuals and specifications to guide the first production run of swIMAGINE Wear. Alongside product development, Made By Makers delivered user instruction guides and a visual asset library to support consistent branding across marketing channels and customer touchpoints.

We helped develop the DALI Sound Hub Compact - a slimmed-down, ultra-compact wireless audio transmitter tailored specifically for modern TV and digital audio setups. The core design challenge was one of extreme space optimization and placement flexibility: the device needed to house complex wireless streaming technology, an advanced DAC, and multiple inputs inside a low-profile housing that could either sit unobtrusively on a shelf or be mounted flat against a wall behind a wall-hung TV, all without compromising wireless signal strength.

Our role

We approached the project from a holistic industrial design and micro-architecture perspective, treating the Sound Hub Compact as an invisible enabler of high-end experiences. Our role focused on creating a highly functional form factor optimized for smart cable management and effortless interaction. We balanced complex technical demands - such as heat dissipation in confined spaces and 5.7 GHz wireless antenna placement - with an ultra-slim, minimalist aesthetic that feels inherently premium, yet completely understated.

Process

Our design process centered on physical prototyping, port layout optimization, and a strategic CMF (Color, Material, Finish) development for discrete home integration. Through iterative design loops, we engineered the chassis with a clever angled connection panel to ensure that cables can be routed cleanly without adding bulk to the depth of the unit. We focused heavily on intuitive automation, implementing automatic source selection so the user rarely needs to interact with the box itself. The exterior texture and matte finish were carefully selected to prevent unwanted light reflections when placed near or behind television screens.

Result

The outcome is the DALI Sound Hub Compact, a masterclass in discrete industrial design and functional clarity. Activating DALI’s wireless EQUI loudspeaker ecosystem, it completely bridges the gap between high-end Hi-Fi sound and modern TV convenience. By combining a zero-latency, high-resolution wireless stream with an ultra-slim, versatile silhouette, the final design removes the traditional AV receiver entirely from sight - delivering a powerful acoustic experience from an entirely clutter-free living space.

The RUBICON series is a cohesive product family of high-performance loudspeakers spanning from compact stand-mounts to powerful floorstanders and elegant wall-mounted solutions. We helped DALI establish a timeless, minimalist design language that fits seamlessly into modern residential spaces, and to design a cabinet architecture capable of housing advanced acoustic technologies without looking bulky or intrusive.

Our role

We approached the project from a holistic design perspective, treating the entire RUBICON range as a family of premium architectural objects and focused on creating a shared, scalable product architecture. We balanced the requirements of internal cabinet volumes with a clean, sophisticated exterior aesthetic, ensuring that each model - whether passive or active - retained a consistent visual DNA and high-end tactile quality.

Process

Through iterative design loops, we optimized the structural form language across the series. This included designing clean cabinet lines and a robust, multi-layer front baffle that serves as a solid physical and visual anchor for the drivers. We integrated DALI’s technical innovations - such as the patented Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) driver systems and signature reddish wood fibre cones - ensuring these functional elements became iconic visual highlights of the series' identity, beautifully contrasted by premium cabinet finishes like real wood veneers and deep high-gloss lacquers.

Result

The outcome is the RUBICON series - a versatile, high-end loudspeaker family that strikes a balance between expressive acoustic performance and subtle home integration. With its wide-dispersion capabilities and cohesive design language, the series redefines the premium audio segment. The final product range delivers a commanding soundstage from a timeless, minimalist silhouette, ensuring both aesthetic longevity and broad applicability across different modern living environments.
