Behold.....

...fully working, bluetooth 'Thriller' headphones. Designed by Johnny Lighthands and built by ATOM Creative Solutions. As modeled here by Carlos Queiros



Complete with display case for the tour of the Nokia Store on Regent Street, Heathrow Terminal 5 and Nokia headquarters in Helsinki


Press down on the cross shaped headstone and the hand reaches out



Adjust the headphones for different head sizes by pulling the zombies, further out from their graves. The headphones also rotate at the zombie's waists.




On this side the panels of the doors are actually working control buttons (pause, skip etc) the hole in the door allows the Bluetooth light to shine through. The Zombie's head can turn 360˚


Modeled here by Nokia product designer Alejandro Sanguinetti. He designed the original Nokia BH-604 headsets which the Thriller headphones are based on.


In loving memory of one of my favorite films.

Captain Atom

In this weeks installment of Captain Atom, the Cap' builds a piece from the Thriller headsets...

Meet Steve...

Steve is from ATOM (the model makers responsible for building the Thriller headphones) Steve hand sculpted the majority of my design from wax before it was cast in plastic He was also responsible for the fine paint job too. Thank you Steve, you are a master craftsman! Below are some photos of his work space and tools of the trade.

Booh!

Something evil is lurking in the dark...

More images of the sculpting process by ATOM. The headphones are starting to take shape now.

First images of the sculpting process

These are the first images from ATOM showing sculptings of some of the components.

Put your hands up and say uuurrrrgghhhh!!

Zombie sketch for model makers to reference.

Adjustable Zombie

I have been working on a few details for the headphones such as how they could adjust to fit different sized heads. here is one solution...pull the zombie apart!

First Meeting

Today I was invited to Wieden + Kennedy London to meet the production team responsible for making the Thriller headphones a reality. I met with Tom Seymour and David Bruno of Wiedens and Nick Mines and Nigel from ATOM. We discussed how the headphones will be manufactured, the materials used and special features like moving parts and lights. It was all very exciting, the whole discussion was filmed for a documentary. Check out the pics below. Lots of tea drinking and beard scratching!




Nick Told me that he plan's to sculpt the headphones in wax, then cast this to make a plastic version which will then be hand painted. Later this month I hope to visit Atom to see some of this happening.

Welcome

Hi and welcome to the Thriller Headphones blog. I entered the Nokia Headset Design competion in November last year and today I received the news that I had won beating over 7,500 entries! My prize... to have my design turned into a bespoke fully functioning Bluetooth headset which will be showcased in Nokia flagship stores all over the world!...how about that!? I have set up this Blog to record the production process, life of the headphones and all things related to them.
