InterDesign
Creating attractive coat hangers is one thing. Creating them so they can be mass-produced and sold for $15 is another. How to achieve both? Use an inexpensive hardwood with a high-gloss finish. Make the pegs simple, so they require minimal tooling. And make the whole thing light enough to keep shipping costs down. That's how you create a coat hanger that's been bought by hundreds of thousands at stores like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Lowe's and Crate & Barrel.

Technologically advanced and visually stunning, this Thermador range is a chef’s dream come true.

Venusto
The Venusto is a radical new paper towel holder, in terms of both form and function. Two wood balls - an upper and a lower - work in tandem, for smooth, easy dispensing. And when it comes to design, this handsome dispenser has the kind of color scheme and one-of-a-kind profile that’s sure to spice up even the most modern kitchen. Made from solid maple and chrome-plated steel.
Cool Design for Temperatures
Moen, the giant North American plumbing fixtures manufacturer, needed graphic symbols to communicate hot and cold around the world. The icons we came up with were easily understood worldwide: Snowflake for cold, and a sun for hot. And for warm, we put the two together. Today these icons are used on Moen fixtures around the world.
Siemens Healthcare
What is it? It's a medical scanner. What's it do? It shoots nuclear particles through a patient and captures an image. Now, if ever a product had to satisfy a number of technical requirements yet not look super scary, this is it. By incorporating gentle curves this half million dollar machine appears both hi-tech and friendly. Now, that’s called keeping the big picture in mind.
Vision
Evidently, it caught the eye of the people at ID magazine. That's why they featured this camera in the Annual Design Review. The body of this camera is made of diecast aluminum, which is covered with an easy-to-grip rubber. The buttons are big, so they're easy to find. All of which makes this one camera that's just about picture perfect.
