MUJI PAVILION
CD PLAYER DESIGNED BY IDEO
CAL POLY, SAN LUIS OBISPO / JIM DOERFLER STUDIO / SPRING 2008

The pavilion provides a sensory experience for its users. One by one,
each sense it called upon to recognize the the product’s qualities before
it is fully revealed at the end of the experience.
The curved edges and mesh walls which house the pavilion’s speaker
system are pulled directly from the design of the Muji CD player.
The experience begins on the fi rst fl oor with a photo display of close-up
details of the CD player. The users then access the second level where
the reception area is as well as a perforated wall of speakers where music
is heard from. The top level consists of the a walkway with lanyards
hanging from above. When these are pulled, different types of music are
activated and the user gets a feel for how he/she can control the product.
Finally, the top fl oor is complete with listening stations where the users
are able to see the product and use it.
