TEAMS

Bringing clean air to hard-to-reach places. With AirBotx, we are reshaping access to clean air with a portable, safe, and cost-effective machine designed for commercial use in the cleaning and sanitation industry. “We asked for TEAMS' help after coming across a very interesting and non-related product and discovering that they were the design company behind it. The design process was collaborative and very effective. Communication was great, with frequent update meetings. The end product is special to us. We frequently receive compliments regarding our product's overall "cool" appearance and functionality. The look and design of our products help to define us. We are thankful for all that TEAMS has done for us.” - Roger Sheppard CEO Airbotx Find out more on our website: https://lnkd.in/ey9WETM3 #userexperience #ux #industrialdesign #design #productdesign #uvctechnology #brandexperience #productexperience #brandidentity #strategicdesign #usability

100th anniversary of the #IFA in #Berlin... ...and a lot to experience! Yesterday, Florian Flocke and Vanessa Miller from the #InteractionDesign team and me took our annual TEAMS trip to the trade show to discover and reflect the latest #consumerelectronics hightlights. Stay tuned for our full report, but here already my first 6 #designtakeaways: 1. AI everywhere (again), and especially in connection with smart home systems => Smart home systems now better adapt to your habits, personality and become a true companion and helping hand 2. Stick vacs become sticks (literally) => Smaller components allow for striking designs such as Miele's circular stick vac 3. Downsizing and re-thinking products => Sustainability efforts by brands and increasing consciousness about purposeful products from consumers create innovation changers, such as Panasonic new portable shaver 4. Micro-robots gain acceptance in our homes as small, cute toy-like buddies => Being companion for our kids, entertaining, securing or assisting, such as Samsung Electronics #Ballie or LG Electronics #AIAgent 5. Back to calm geometry => Many new designed products have reduced formal expression, minimal geometries and a calm expression 6. Black was back => Brands seem to love Henry Ford's approach to colors: 50 shades of black, black with bling, black - the new "white-red-silver"....

𝒜 𝐿𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝒶𝓉 𝐼𝐹𝒜 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟦: 𝒜𝓃 𝒜𝓃𝓃𝒾𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝒶𝓇𝓎 𝐹𝓊𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝐼𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓋𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈 ✨ Yesterday, Florian Flocke and me from the #InteractionDesign team, alongside Kai Gehrmann from #IndustrialDesign were proud to represent TEAMS at #IFA2024, celebrating its impressive 100th anniversary! IFA Berlin showcased the latest #trends and #innovations, including advancements in personal assistance robots. Samsung Electronics displayed the final design of #Ballie, though it was still behind a glass case with no details on its market launch or price. In comparison, we saw Unitree Robotics and their Unitree Go2 robot dog, equipped with #LiDAR and available for around $1600. It could dance, do flips, and even give high fives – a fascinating glimpse into the future of household helpers! 🦾 Whether I’ll choose one of these robots or the Jet Bot AI+ from #Samsung for my pets remains to be seen – the #future looks exciting 👀 In addition to the #technology, it was fantastic to make new connections 🤝 The conversation with Koen van Laer from ASKO Professional was especially valuable as we discussed #DesignSystems and their potential benefits for #fleet management. A big thank you to Julian Jović, Julia Lipniewicz, and Eike Sebastian Modersohn for the insightful discussions and to the IFA team for organizing this outstanding anniversary event. We’re excited to apply the insights we gained to our work. 🙌 How did you find IFA 2024?

Alexander Bruns Kushal Fernandes William MOYNATON, leaders of Kearney PERLab (Product Excellence Renewal Lab) are some of the most creative people I have ever worked with, each one of them has traversed a different journey. I still remember Kushal as a young consultant on one of our earliest projects, as one of the founding members of Perl he has exhibited every trait expected of a Perl leader. Alex and William were serendipitous (so was Kushal, didn’t even know him till the first project). Met Alex in lobby of our Chicago office and 5 mins later, he was member of Perl. Met William in Paris and took some time but he finally landed on US soil and thanks to Namrata Shah is now a proud leader of Perl. We believe product company problems lie in and around the products and these find creative ways along with their teams to help our clients. With inspiration from a commercials from many years ago - We don’t make products but we help our clients make them better We at Kearney are very proud of Alex, Kushal and William’s accomplishments - looking forward to great things in future from them.

It's a perfect time to take a trip down memory lane to celebrate Leifheit's 65th anniversary. It all began in 1958 when Günter Leifheit and his wife Ingeborg took a leap of faith. Together with our founding father, Hans-Erich Slany, they ventured to develop a modest carpet sweeper.  Their bold slogan? “Do you also have as much free time as I do?” It was a playful nod to a simpler time, though the challenge was anything but simple. Electric vacuum cleaners were already making their way into German households – but at a price that many could not afford. Yet, this only fueled their passion to create practical, affordable solutions for every home. What started as a brave project soon became a long-standing partnership marked by innovation, creativity, and a shared vision. Over the years, our products have evolved, adapting to the changing needs and styles of the time. Technical advancements were made, and colors changed with the trends, but the essence of Leifheit remained steadfast: making everyday life a little easier. Each product tells the story of its era, reflecting the tastes and trends of the time.
