Objects for a
considered relationship
with technology.
Material presence.
Quiet technology.
Everyday life.
An object to live with.
A reason to listen.
Concrete gives sound a physical presence. A cast enclosure, carefully resolved geometry, and acoustic engineering come together in a speaker that belongs in the room.
Developed through digital modelling, mould making, casting, and listening. Presented as part of OUT OF HAND at Zurich Design Weeks 2026.
Discover Concrete Speaker 01A cinema that disappears
when the film ends.
A steel sideboard brings projection, sound, and record storage into one quiet horizontal line. A place for technology, designed around the moments when it is in use — and the moments when it isn’t.
Thinking through making.
From a cast enclosure to a small software tool. Each project is a way of understanding how things work, how they feel, and how they might fit into daily life.
Design sensibility.
Engineering curiosity.
I’m Samuel Bernet, a designer and mechanical engineer based in Zürich.
I work between physical objects, furniture, and technology. I’m interested in how things are made — and in how the technical decisions inside an object shape the experience of living with it.
Alongside my independent practice, I work at Zurich Soft Robotics, bringing moving solar façades to life.
