Vision: Develop an integrated strategy, brand and product vision for the marketing and production of innovative portable speakers. In doing so, capitalise on a gap in the market.
Solution: Initial research defined the target group: the Urban Creative. Subsequently, a logo, graphic identity and product sketch were simultaneously developed. This allowed for strong integration between brand and product. The first Orlo speaker was launched in 2010. Named Cup-11, it has an elegant cup-like shape, optimised for mass-production and assembly. Importantly, the refined simplicity of the design reflects Orlo´s focus on innovation, honesty and sound quality.
Vision: Create an ergonomic chair with a sleek expression, which stands for lightness, well-being and flexibility.
Solution: Everything, from the wheels to the fabric, is designed specially for the Ambio. The upholstery padding on the chair is made from recyclable Ventec™, which is designed by RH, and helps to create a feeling of lightness. The sharp thin frames and hole in the back further enhance this feeling.
Awards: FX Prima Award and the Benelux Office Products Award.
Vision: Develop and maintain a consistent design identity that strengthens the product portfolio of Axis - the global market leader in digital network video solutions.
Solution: Product identity program expressed in the form of a design manual and a design identity guide. Acting as strategic tools, these drive product development and competitive differentiation by ensuring Axis products project key brand values. In doing so, they increase profitability and strengthen the Axis brand. Importantly, the program is consistently developed and updated in close collaboration with Axis.
Awards: The Swedish Grand Design Award 2009.
Vision: Develop a modular range of wiring devices for Sweden, Norway and Finland. This should be so user-friendly that it is recommended by installers and electricians, and so flexible that it attracts private consumers and architects and must be more customisable than existing alternatives.
Solution: The timeless, highly integrated design of the products allows electricians and homeowners to simply replace different finishing parts and accessories. The devices come in different coloured coatings and offer frames, which can be used for inserting photos etc. Consequently, they can be integrated with any interior theme after installation, without the need for technical expertise. Importantly, the devices also meet the demanding standards required for public buildings.
Awards: Red Dot Award 2011.
Vision: Develop an innovative series of industrial computers. Optimise the appearance of touch screen installations, the experience for the end-user, and the manufacturing process.
Solution: The Beijer Electronics iX series combines state-of-the-art technology with a powerful, user-friendly interface that facilitates operation. Modular design allows customers to combine screen size and processor, whilst maintaining the exterior design across all sizes and models. This solution makes the design unique within the product category. Every product detail speaks the same distinctive and cohesive design language. Efficient manufacturing line reduces use of materials.
Vision: Create a new and improved user-experience for those who use autoinjectors. Design a product to be proud of, which combines user-friendly thinking with an exclusive look – ‘an autoinjector to be proud of’.
Solution: The Letject® autoinjector combines ease of use with a friendly, sleek and exclusive look. Usability is enhanced by a hidden display and modern interface, which adapts to the user’s life. Able to administer variable, fixed, multi or single doses, the device is equipped with wireless technology. This allows for healthcare providers to monitor usage in real time.
Vision: Create a user-friendly product with a visual identity that communicates the Alfa Laval brand. Through the design, reduce the number of market-specific versions.
Solution: Collecting the interface parts and enclosing the majority of components creates a unified product. Matte stainless steel covers protect the components and look precise. A new graphic interface reduces user-training time from two weeks to two days.
Vision: Challenge attitudes and get more women to work in the traditionally male-dominated construction industry. Ultimately, enhance the entire industry by helping to give it a more gender-balanced workforce.
Solution: A holistic and iterative process was developed, which identified insights and answers on how to attract more women into the construction sector. This involved interviewing teachers, students and professionals to identify challenges; a future forecast studying tendencies within the sector; and a workshop generating ideas on how to develop education programs.
Vision: Create a range of heat pumps, which are differentiated by their ability to meet the needs of both end-users and independent installers. In doing so, develop a user interface and exterior design that meets trends in household design.
Solution: Design reflects results of an initial user study. The heavy components are divided into two, facilitating installation and simple maintenance. For example, the heat pump components can be removed from the water reservoir and plumbing. Intuitive user interface and menu structure encourage user interaction.

Invited by The Eco Design Initiative
Read moreMariano Vozzi just came back from a 10 days design workshop in Capetown, South Africa, invited by the non-profit organization The Eco Design Initiative. As one of five Swedish design ambassadors he took part in a cultural exchange and collaboration with the finalists in 2012 year´s design competition “Home is where the heart is” – a national competition on sustainable design.
Together with Helena Uesson from Malmö Stad, Mariano lead a group of “Fresh Talents” in a social design workshop to improve home life for children in township Khayelitsha.The group made visits and interviews in three homes to plot problems and needs, and came up with possible solutions for several challenges. By involving the user, the group
could identify their highest priority; which was to create an individual space for the children at home, where they could read, do their homework and play.
After three days of hard design work, the result was “Doodle Desk” - a product made of cheap and easy-to-get material. A first series of prototype boards where cut, sanded and painted, and at a ceremony given to a group of children at Skumlandela Primary School.
-The response was overwhelming, says Mariano.
A couple of prototypes and drawings were also handed over to local organizations, for them to continue to try and put the “Doodle Desk” into local production.

Vision: Create a dry powder inhaler, which strikes the ideal balance between the requirements of all potential customers – e.g. users, clinicians, suppliers, regulators, buyers etc.
Solution: The innovatively designed inhaler reflects our extensive experience in developing DPIs. Each of its four modules – device, formulation, filling and manufacturing – has been independently designed to ensure optimal efficiency, performance and quality. The device works with the type of formulations normally used in DPIs. It can be filled using off-the-shelf filling equipment. In addition, it can be manufactured using established methods.
Vision: Create a product design that reduces stress on physicians’ hands when they are mixing and injecting bone cement. Achieve this goal while optimising the production technique and use of materials .
Solution: The size and shape of the handle are designed to reflect user research: the surface on which pressure is distributed is enlarged as much as possible, without adversely affecting production costs. Texturing improves friction between the handle and sterile gloves of the operator. Branding is incorporated into the handle. The mixing valve is developed to facilitate workflow.
