Todd & Ernest Seoul, Korea  Industrial Design Studio
Todd & Ernest is an industrial design studio based in Seoul, working across products and furniture. We bring our perspectives to familiar objects and everyday experiences, exploring new possibilities in form and use. Through sketches, prototypes, and close collaboration with makers, we develop these ideas into finished products.
토드앤어니스트는 서울을 기반으로 제품과 가구를 디자인하는 산업디자인 스튜디오입니다. 익숙한 사물과 일상의 경험을 두 사람의 시선으로 바라보며, 형태와 쓰임의 새로운 가능성을 탐색합니다. 스케치와 시제품으로 아이디어를 다듬고, 제작 파트너와의 협업을 통해 제품으로 완성합니다.
2024roubitAI Companion Device


loody


‘loody’ is a voice-based interface device where form, material, and user experience are holistically integrated. Its asymmetrical conical base, wrapped in soft textile, offers both visual stability and tactile warmth. The overall silhouette is proportioned to suggest a subtle sense of face-to-face presence, reinforcing its identity as an “AI companion.”

The display is angled upward for natural visibility, minimizing visual interference when placed on a desk and supporting unobtrusive integration into the user’s environment.

On the back, vertically aligned physical buttons follow a top-to-bottom control logic, enabling intuitive operation without the need for visual confirmation. The sizing, spacing, and tactile feedback of the buttons are optimized for low-effort interaction and repeated use.

‘loody’ is designed not just as a piece of hardware, but as an emotionally attuned presence—an object that quietly supports everyday life through both thoughtful interaction and a familiar physical form.
