PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Our aim was to build a digital home for the Sonos Radio brand that showcases its premier offering as a discovery and listening platform devoted to expanding the experience and importance of music. With Sonos Radio comes their organic evolution as curators offering experiential programming that positions the brand as a powerful cultural driver. An immersive library of programming and product—and with it, the power over memory and brand identity.
The chosen design direction drew from Sonos' existing branding, but punched up with more immersive user experience and vibrant, fun colorways. This direction also features moments that engage users with fun interaction and styling.
To engage visitors with an immersive experience upon visiting the site, the homepage hero module features a beautiful, clean transition with albums floating in 3D space on a dark background. The final web design uses simple development to align with Sonos branding, combined with more immersive, interactive blocks to promote shows and original content.

“The playlist generator is delightful with unexpected results—enjoyed the utility of discovering new music from normal routine listening.
