The Challenge

The Challenge

“Technology has connected the world—but often leaves us emotionally distant.”

Furniture has remained static and disposable in an age of exponential tech.

AI is perceived as cold, utility-focused, and devoid of soul.

Can an object evolve with us—respond to us—without overwhelming us?

The Concept

The Concept

AI becomes silent, emotional, and sensory. Not another screen. Not another function. Just presence, expressed.

Inspired by the invisible energy of gatherings, presence, and shared spaces, Sona uses AI-driven cymatics to translate vibrations into art—creating an emotional bridge between people and spaces.

Design

The AI-integrated dining table responds to presence and energy through mesmerizing cymatic patterns. Seamlessly merging advanced technology with poetic materiality, Sona transforms human vibration into visual symphonies—bridging the emotional gap between object and soul.

Rooted in co-growth and designed for timeless interaction, Sona challenges the notion of passive furniture, inviting users into a sensorial dialogue that evolves over time.
