Emotions through design. Products that touch.

Utility comes first. A design doctrine carved in stone that has been followed for decades. Traditional approaches to product usability tend to underestimate the importance of customer emotions and experiences. It is no longer enough to develop products that are high quality and useful, products and experiences need to evoke positive emotions. The focus is on how customers feel about what we have created.

We are on the way to the so-called "Meaning Economy". In terms of product design, this raises the following questions: what feeling does the design of a product trigger in people? What meaning does it give to everyday life? Brands are called upon to delve deep into the consumer's emotional world, explore it and generate meaningful, emotionally charged experiences. For a brand that is firmly convinced that the emotional appeal of a cozy fire in your own home makes people happy, this means: What exactly does the fireplace have to look like to make people happy? Our products provide answers to these questions. Today and in the future. The design of the future creates emotions. We ignite the desired emotions of our customers.

Design promotes well-being

We know that product design in particular plays a key role in people's well-being. For example, "form follows function" can become "form forwards emotions" or "function creates experiences". It is therefore becoming increasingly important to gear design towards the desired emotions. A global challenge for product designers and brands. In the coming years, product designers will be increasingly required to design emotions, experiences and contexts - a requirement that originated in the world of marketing and branding and is now beginning to play a decisive role in the design of the product itself.
