Iconic figure of design, Matali Crasset designed a transparent and luminous wireless loudspeaker, Osmoze., which evokes sharing moments with friends or family,  in the image of a picnic basket, and this, through more emotional forms than technology. This wireless speaker allows you to create original lighting moods in a spirit of friendliness and well-being.

Thomson and design: A long love story

Thomson has always been associated with the art world by working with the greatest graphic designers and product designers. In the 90s, the brand creates the Tim Thom, a research lab integrating all aspects of design. Led by Matali Crasset, this lab gathered in Thomson a lot of creative young people. Under the artistic direction of Philippe Starck, the Tim Thom has thus revolutionized the world of design in France and around the world, by presenting and marketing Dream Products, such as the ZEO TV, the radio LALALA, the COO COO alarm clock or the DON'O radio tape recorder designed by Matali. These creations have since become iconic and appear in great museums such as the Pompidou Center or the MoMA in New York.

Even today, the Thomson brand collaborates with many designers and design schools. It designs innovative designs in following the guidelines created by the illustrious creators of Tim Thom via simple, aesthetic and familiar products. True “friendly products".

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the creation of Tim Thom, Thomson is collaborating again with Matali Crasset to create and market its new "Dream Product", Osmoze. To do this, the brand has teamed up with young Start Up Designerbox.com, which values ​​the work of creators and who defends an accessible design with an innovative subscription concept.

A true enjoyment with all senses

Just like the picnic basket, Osmoze. is above all an evocative object that embodies a certain idea of ​​sharing with friends or as a couple, by day, or better at night. It allows you to create your own light atmosphere and stream the music of your choice from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth®, or simply from a USB key. With its remote control, you can change color, change the sound or move from one track to another. Thanks to the battery and its handle, you can take it away easily on your terrace and enjoy the sunset in music.

With its very identifiable shape and its metal handle, Matali Crasset moves away from a purely technological register to bring a more human and more poetic dimension. Osmoze. is both a practical and an inspiring object.

With Osmoze., Matali Crasset returns to the epic story of Thomson at the time of Tim Thom and helps to redefine traditional aesthetic codes of technological objects.

Available as a preview to Designerbox.com subscribers from December 2018, Osmoze. will then be available in other points of sale.
