Earphones currently in the market either do not fit perfectly in the ears or do not stay comfortable in the ears for a long period. We designed a new way of wearing earphones that provides the perfect balance of comfort, size and convenience. Every human ear is different but we share a similar region that is shaped in the form of a bean. That inspired us to design earBeans: a light-weight, small size, and two-way wearing earphones designed to provide the best comfort and convenience to every user.

Allocacoc, an industrial design firm, stands for setting a different standard. One of our top selling products is the PowerCube: An award-winning product in multiple categories, amongst which the coveted Red Dot Award for Industrial Design. We are also helping other designers to develop their ideas into products and launch them into the market through our crowdfunding platform called DesignNest. DesignNest is a crowdfunding platform that offers designers a unique opportunity to develop their ideas into finished products that are launched onto shelves worldwide. In contrast to traditional crowdfunding platforms, DesignNest provides a complete solution and support for designers from sourcing, production and assembly, as well as distribution and sales. Designers experience the entire process while having the chance to collaborate with other designers in an open environment. There are already two successful projects with products that are on their way to stores worldwide, namely DAX: ‘the wallet with a trick up its sleeve’, and Levit8: ‘the flat folding portable standing desk’.
