Earbuds, just like another piece of gear.
Kånken Buds is a wireless earbuds concept designed with hikers in mind. It has the usual wireless earbuds functionalities, while additionally providing features that are catered towards hikers such as solar power charging on the go and a waterproof design. Aesthetically, it is also designed to fit in with the Fjällräven branding and style in mind.
The idea behind the concept was to give a new take on wireless earbuds, the hot commodity in these modern times, trying to integrate a style that people usually do not associate with the product. Fjällräven was therefore chosen as the branding for the design as they have a very distinct design, while also being relatively different in their product catalog. The product is purely conceptual and I am not affiliated with Fjällräven.
Lastly, examples of the design process can be seen below.
