Twisted ergomomics

Migatronic A/S 2009

The new line of Migatronic welding torches extends a range of easy-to-use welding equipment designed by design-people. User field studies revealed the need for improved ergonomics to make the torch a good tool for extensive everyday use. Thus an innovative twist mechanism was made part of the design concept. The possibility to adjust the angle of the torch gives a far more convenient and less stressful use of the torch for the welder. A good example of valuable userdriven innovation and design.

It's all about the cables

Polycom 2009

Polycom’s new Gateway; "Kirk Wireless Server 8000" telephone router is one of those IT products that make modern communication work. But still there is a need for lots of cabling to distribute the massive amount of telephone lines that KWS8000 administrates. The router’s design is consequently based on an innovative approach to cable management – form follows interaction. The angled outputs were chosen based on simulated use of the product - they add a lot of character to the product and make it a unique design statement.
