Opportunity
Musicians invest thousands in beautiful instruments, then prop their sheet music on utilitarian wire stands that clash with everything in the room. Traditional stands force compromises—limited height range, fixed media plates that can't accommodate tablets or laptops, and generic industrial aesthetics that look out of place in a home.
This needed a stand worthy of sharing space with the instruments it serves.
Product
Modular system with two bases and three media plates - mix and match for any need from practice to performance.
Key Innovation
Quick-Click system - swap media plates in seconds, transforming from music stand to standing desk without tools.

Details
Every detail considered - from the wood grain to the padded clips that protect tablets and laptops.
Development
Prototyping the Quick-Click mechanism - iterating tension, durability, and tactile feedback for the perfect swap.
