Jubilee Edition Wooden Casing for the Sony PS5
The design process
The project aimed to redesign the PlayStation 5's panels into a warmer, less futuristic style that complements Swedish living rooms, then manufacture and attach them to a mock-up to assess their appearance and feel in context.
Early sketch created in the project to visualize the concept and manufacturing of the needed parts.
CAD model developed in SolidWorks and Fusion 360 of the Sony PlayStation 5.
Based on the CAD model, the main console form was milled from MDF, and birch plywood was heated and vacuum-pressed over it to gradually follow the curves. The key challenge was shaping the plywood without cracking or causing damage while ensuring accurate formation.
