Panini101 充電器について

Panini101は、初期のコンピュータータワーをミニチュア化したような形状のデスクトップ用急速充電器です。透明なビューイングウィンドウが内部コンポーネントを露わにし、閉じた形態が主流である現代の電子機器とは対照的なあり方を示しています。マグネット式の扉と安定感のあるデスクトップフォルムが、手に取りたくなる感覚と好奇心を誘います。窒化ガリウム（GaN）による電源アーキテクチャと適応型充電プロトコルにより、最大100Wの出力と複数デバイスの同時充電を実現しました。筐体は難燃性PC/ABSの射出成形により製作されています。本作の意図は、人とテクノロジーの間にある情緒的なつながりを再構築することにあります。

デザインの裏側

プレスキット

デザイナーが提供するクレジット、チームメンバー、技術的な詳細。

独自の特性: The project transforms a desktop fast charger into a culturally meaningful desk object by referencing the form of early computer towers. A transparent viewing window reveals internal components, challenging the black-box nature of modern electronics. Details such as a magnetic door, stable desktop form, and visible structure create a product that is designed not only for function, but also for interaction, curiosity, and emotional attachment.
寸法とパッケージ: Dimensions: Width 85 mm x Depth 60 mm x Height 55 mm.
Weight: approximately 240 g.
Output power up to 100 W GaN fast charging.
Supports USB C Power Delivery with adaptive charging protocols.
Enclosure made of injection molded PC ABS V0 flame retardant material.
Complies with FCC, UL, and CCC safety standards.
タグ: power adaptor, charger, consumer electronics, retro design, emotional design, collectible, industrial design
製造技術: Panini101 integrates Gallium Nitride power architecture and adaptive charging protocols into a compact desktop charger capable of charging multiple devices simultaneously. The adaptive protocol system allows compatibility with evolving devices and charging standards, extending product lifespan and reducing replacement frequency. This approach supports sustainability through durability, long term usability, and emotional attachment rather than disposable electronics.
デザインの課題: The main challenge was translating the visual language of early personal computer towers into a compact high-performance charger while meeting thermal and safety requirements. The initial fully transparent enclosure conflicted with heat dissipation needs. The final design introduced a partial viewing window, balancing engineering constraints, visual expression, and design intent.
リサーチ: The project explores how industrial design can reduce the psychological distance created by black-box technology. By combining cultural symbols, physical transparency, and everyday functionality, the design investigates whether making technology visually understandable and culturally familiar can increase user trust and emotional connection. The project proposes a design approach where consumer electronics function as cultural artifacts rather than invisible utilities.
インスピレーション: Modern technology is becoming smaller, faster, and more invisible, but this invisibility also creates psychological distance between people and the technology they depend on. Early personal computers were visible and understandable machines that people could see and interact with. This project was inspired by the idea that cultural memory and physical transparency could be used as design tools to rebuild trust and emotional connection between humans and technology.
プロジェクト期間: The project started in early 2023 in Dallas, United States, and was completed in October 2024 with mass production. The project included industrial design, engineering development, prototyping, and manufacturing preparation. The product was later presented at international technology and cultural events including CES and ComplexCon.
オペレーションフロー: Panini101 is designed as a stable desktop charging object rather than a hidden adapter. Users connect devices via the charging port, while the system automatically adapts power delivery through protocol negotiation. The compact form keeps cables organized and enables one-handed interaction, reinforcing usability. Its physical presence transforms charging from a passive task into a visible and tactile routine, integrating the object into the workspace environment.
