About Gravastar
In 2018, Yong, an industrial designer with over 20 years of experience and a passion for sci-fi and mecha aesthetics, envisioned GravaStar. Fueled by a desire to merge cutting-edge technology with everyday life, GravaStar was born. The journey officially kicked off in 2019 with the launch of the Mars Bluetooth speaker on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform. It wasn’t just a speaker; it was a statement, a declaration that GravaStar was here to redefine the intersection of technology and design.
From that inaugural product, GravaStar continued to innovate, introducing quirky speakers and unique desktop power adapters that challenged the norm. The products weren’t just functional; they were collectible art pieces, each telling a story of a futuristic world merging with our own.
Our mission is to transform everyday products with futuristic style. We blend sci-fi aesthetics with innovation to create unique experiences. Join us in embracing a future-forward lifestyle where technology and art merge to redefine the ordinary.
