  • The Chinese organisation committee of the World Industrial Design Conference 2019 in Yantai invited us to participate in the Industrial Design World Expo with an exhibition of selected product design samples. The organisation was done very efficiently, neither shipping, nore exhibition realisation in Yantai needed our help.
    With a lot of interested visitors, the WIDC was a great success. Besides a lot of speeches, the 4 day program included lectures, workshops and guided tours.

  • We are excited to announce that our innovative designs of a vacuum cleaner and a garment steamer have been awarded with iF-design product design awards 2019. We designed both appliances as part of a product family for Haier Group - one of the world's largest home appliance manufacturers.

    Prior to the start of the design phase, we intensively analyzed the requirements and developed a strategy for an efficient and user centered creative process. Deeply exploring and experiencing the functions, structure and usability issues of the competitor products as well as the needs and wishes of Chinese users, we defined the potential for improvement in intensive workshops and totally developed 6 product families with 5 products each.

  • As an Industrial Designer with many years of experience working for both - German and Chinese global companies, Micha Daniels was invited to participate in the Sino-German Industrial Design Expert Committee in Vienna. The meeting was organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Sino-Chinese Industrial Design Center and the Ilmenau University of Technology. The background to the event is the 2030 Agenda - a political decision to step up cooperation between the two countries, i.a. including sustainable industrial development, innovation and infrastructure. After a lecture about experiences, projects and strategies in the work of daniels + erdwiens for companies from various industries and other lectures about optimization potentials in the production process, the expert commitee developed expectations and strategies for the cooperation with Chinese partners.

  • After several years of development work, HYTECON - a high-tech start-up in the field of water purification - has now introduced its two core products to the public at the ISH in Frankfurt. For the HYPRO WATER as well as for the larger HYPRO WATER MAX we developed the design concepts and brought them to series maturity in cooperation with our engineering partner H&H.

    Both products are based on the technology of highly efficient water purification by LED light. The combination of UV-light and active carbon filters destroys practically all impurities and is therefore highly efficient for both - treatment of contaminated water to the best drinking water quality and the safety of avoiding heavy metals, chemical residues or microplastics.

  • Main goals for the new design of a multifunctional handle for a workplace cleaning system were optimized ergonomics, feasability, reduced cost and - last but not least - aesthetical appearance. Below you see a mixture of old model and prototype. Here you see, what we came up with:

  • iNOEX GmbH now has launched the new mobile device "Warp Portable" allowing a quick measuring of extruded pipes' wall thickness even infront of the calibration sleeve. Particularly after changing the pipe's diameter specifications during the extrusion process, unwanted changes of the wall thickness can be spotted much quicker, which saves high costs for wasted material.

    Together with our mechanical engineering and electronics development partners we managed to execute this project from first sketch to market launch in less than 8 months. Happy client ...

  • SYWOS ONE is a highly innovative training device. Due to its patented technology it not only allows weight training without weights, it is even more efficient: Providing resistance in both directions, it allows training of opposite muscles in one cycle.

    With great enthusiasm we took over responsibility of the design-development focussing design, lifestyle, usability and flexibilty on one side and taking the challenge of rigid requirements concerning reliability, stability and cost reduction on the other side.

    Sywos GmbH started a kickstarter campaign a week ago and 6 days later - after appr. 15% of the available time span - it has been funded. Congretulations !!

    Market launch is announced for autumn this year.
