"Tuno, conceived by Chaewon Lee, is a compact DJ controller designed to integrate music mixing into everyday life. Shaped as a ring-like device, it condenses the essential gestures of DJing, beat matching, EQ adjustment, and effects control into a single, tactile interface that fits in the palm of the hand. The circular form allows users to spin the circular wheel to match beats, scroll, and click to adjust EQ or FX, simulating the intuitive gestures of professional DJ equipment in a simplified, portable format."
"Built-in earbuds enable on-the-go track preview and mixing, allowing users to create and blend sounds anywhere. Supported by the Samsung Design Membership program, the project included the development of a physical prototype used to refine ergonomics, balance, and usability. Through Tuno, designer Chaewon Lee explores how performance-oriented tools can evolve into accessible, personal devices. By miniaturizing traditional DJ hardware into a ring-shaped form, the project reimagines the relationship between music, technology, and everyday interaction."
Tuno is a ring-shaped, palm-sized DJ controller that miniaturizes essential DJ gestures into a single tactile interface. The device enables spinning, scrolling, and clicking gestures for beat matching, EQ adjustment, and effects control within a 360-degree interaction space. Built-in earbuds allow instant track preview and on-the-go mixing, while lighting feedback, varied textures, and haptic responses enrich tactile control. A physical prototype refined ergonomics, balance, and usability. A carrying strap and lightweight construction support portability. The design translates multiple CDJ controls into one compact tool, reframing performance-oriented music-making as an accessible, personal experience.
