Introduction to gomi
gomi is a small, sustainable design studio based in Brighton, UK. They are the world’s first brand to repurpose lithium-ion batteries from e-bikes, and combine them with plastic bag waste, deemed ‘non-recyclable’, and turn it into design-led immersive audio products.
The gomi Bluetooth speaker embodies their vision for a circular future that is waste-free, turning the most difficult to recycle materials into desirable and repairable products that last. Each speaker is made from the 44 waste plastic bags and have been hand marbled and pressed into the unique designs found on each one's outer shell. No two speakers will ever have the same exact pattern, and each has their own unique edition number engraved on the aluminium back plate.
Their products come with a ‘gomi for life’ promise, meaning that they commit to repairing every product for life, thanks to its modular design. gomi wants to prove that there is a new waste-free way to manufacture our favourite tech, without sacrificing on quality or performance.
The gomi speaker has 32 hours of battery life from just 2 hours of USB-C fast charging. It has Bluetooth 5.0 and AUX inputs and two gomi speakers can be paired together for a truly immersive stereo experience.
Due to the manufacturing methods used, the speaker has a carbon footprint that is less than 50% of comparable alternatives, whilst reusing materials which would otherwise have gone to waste.

With a belief that batteries die, but products don't have to, gomi designs innovative technology crafted from materials that would otherwise end up in landfill. Their speakers, power banks and wireless chargers turn everyday 'non-recyclable' plastics and second-life lithium batteries into consumer tech products that people are proud to display.
Every gomi speaker is made from the equivalent of 44 plastic bags, while the durable outer shell for the power banks is made from flexible plastics like bubble wrap and food packaging – repurposing some of the 300 million kilograms that the UK throws away every year.
From their studio in Brighton's Lanes, gomi's team of designers and sound technicians handcraft every product, recognisable by the signature swirling marbled design (of which no two are the same). Power comes from healthy, second-life batteries sourced from damaged e-bikes and tested – so they're just as good as new. This circumvents the humanitarian issues associated with mining for new lithium, as well as stopping would-be waste from ending up in landfill, meaning gomi products have a carbon footprint more than 50% lower than their mass produced counterparts. A "repairs for life" pledge means this studio practises what they preach around circularity, too.
Their eye for turning throw-away culture on its head has captured the imaginations of iconic brands such as Paul Smith, Vans and Chilly's, for whom they've created limited collections.
