How we designed the MAP300 Air Sterilizer, personal device for clean and healthy air?

For more than 10 years, we have been designing for ZMM MAXPOL - a leading manufacturer of plastic products for the home appliance industry and its own Hagsen brand. When it was time for a higher level of innovation, our designers were ready to go!

We identified a growing need for innovation in preventing the transmission of infections and looking for new solutions to ensure safety in human contact.

Surprisingly, there was still no technology or device that would provide healthy air in the home. That's how the idea for a small personal air purification device came about.

There isn’t much time left to see our exhibition at the Open Eyes Art Festival. You only have time until 23 November to visit the Ogiński and Potulicki Palace to go back in time to the 1990s as you follow the story of one kettle.

Our exhibition has traveled all the way from Kraków to Gdynia (where it was shown at the Gdynia Design Days) to return to its roots in Kraków. Here, together with the Faculty of Industrial Design of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (Akademia Sztuk Pięknych im. Jana Matejki w Krakowie), we tell the tale of design’s journey from plastic to circularity.

What should you expect to see at the exhibition?

👉 six themed zones guiding you from the legendary Crystal kettle of the 1990s to the future
👉 several circular kettle concepts proposed by our designers
👉 variants of the potential far future: extreme environment, hydropunk and symbiocene
👉 various resources on circularity in our reflection zone

See you there!

Is it better to be the First or the Best?
Have you ever considered both?

Circularity is at the heart of the European economic region's development strategy. It will start to affect every business in the coming years.

What can your brand be circularly First in?
What can it be circularly Best at?

Is circular transformation already affecting your industry?
How will it affect your products and services in the next years?
What adjustments to your strategy, offerings, processes will it require?
Now is a great time to think this through!

The first step to put an organization on a circular path is a circularity audit.
👉Maybe the circular economy model is right for your business too? Ask us!

This edition brought together design people from all over the world around:

●designing systems for products and services
●designing with all the senses in mind
●designing for the economy and -driven innovationdesigning
● design taking into account far-reaching social and economic trends in search of a vision of the future

The challenges ahead are extremely ambitious.

This year's Dutch Design Week has confirmed that we are on the right track.

Ready to get set?

Another opportunity to see our exhibition The story of one kettle. Future Lab by Ergodesign is coming soon! We will talk about the legendary kettle, design in the 1990s and new opportunities of designing responsibly in the spirit of circular economy for the second time in Kraków at the Open Eyes Art Festival.

The display will be one of the many exhibitions and installations to be held at the Ogiński and Potulicki Palace at 4 Piłsudskiego Street on 22 October - 23 November. Our story will be included in the presentation of the rich output of graduates of the Faculty of Industrial Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.

The portal krakow.pl describes the Festival as an “explosion of art”. We are confident that, in addition to an artistic experience, visitors will also become inspired by actual design solutions that can be applied in the world of design and business.

The first edition of our exhibition took place at the Gdynia Design Days, attracting over 1.7 thousand visitors. We are hoping for an even greater turnout this time!

Lata bezczynności na poziomie lokalnym i globalnym sprawiły, że dziś przejście na gospodarkę obiegu zamkniętego nie jest już wyborem. Jest koniecznością.

Years of inactivity at a local and global level have made it clear to us that changes are necessary and the transition to circular economy is not a matter of choice any more but a matter of urgency.

On 11-12 October during the “Sustainability - a green transformation of business” conference organised by EY Academy of Business Polska we will meet to discuss the green transformation. We are delighted that Ergodesign representatives will be among the speakers.

Katarzyna Sliwa and Krzysztof Bogomaz will deliver the lecture:
“Circular Innovations - how to start thinking and acting in a more sustainable way”

Krzysztof Bogomaz and Paulina Morawa will deliver the workshops:
“Searching for circular innovations in products”.

You are most welcome! https://lnkd.in/dB_drYua

What we struggle with every day, as designers, matters for everyone. Our design choices, such as how we plan a product cycle, what materials a product will be made of or how long it will stay in use, have enormous impact on the planet Earth.

"Plastic has a bad press nowadays. But, as the exhibition has shown, it is high time to make it part of the cycle wisely, so that it does not endanger the environment" - writes the Architektura i Biznes.

For more about our exhibition, plastic, the kettle and responsible design, as well as other exhibitions, read the article "Bałtyk podgrzany w czajniku Crystal" (The Baltic heated up in a Crystal Kettle) in the September issue of the Architektura i Biznes magazine: https://www.architekturaibiznes.pl/logowanie.html

We also have a surprise for those who didn’t make it to Gdynia. We will soon be showing our exhibition in Kraków, in a slightly changed formula.

So stay tuned!

At Ergodesign, we put you on the path of innovation. But innovation can have more than one dimension...

When it comes to products for children, the safety and comfort of the child are paramount, and they are the measure of success. To date, at Ergodesign we've designed over 20 car seats, 16 of which have gone into production. Our Team have also accomplished 13 development projects of child strollers, 10 of which have been implemented.

This is why we are so thrilled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Glider car seat this year, our first car seat designed for the Avionaut brand. The product is still available for sale and is very popular with customers!

The Avionaut Ultralite, today known as Pixel, is another project we are proud of and a global innovation. It is the lightest car seat on the market since the time it was launched weighing less than 2.5 kg.

Our collaboration with the Avionaut brand, involved in both on product and strategy, resulted in products that are winning the market and a strategy that has found its way to the hearts of parents.

See our case studies (products for children):

The projects we carry out for the medical industry are invariably a source of enormous satisfaction to our team.

Now we’d like to welcome a new client from that industry: METRUM CRYOFLEX, a Polish manufacturer of medical equipment that has provided equipment for over 10,000 institutions on the global and Polish markets throughout the nearly 30 years of its history.

In recent years, the company has focused on designing and making technologically innovative devices protected by international patents. This is the area where our client will be supported by our designers, experienced in designing specialized medical devices.

We hope that our collaboration with METRUM CRYOFLEX will result in innovative solutions that will simplify production but, most importantly, improve the comfort of work and ergonomics for medical practitioners who administer therapies (such as ozone therapy and cryotherapy).

Zrównoważona przyszłość w designie i architekturze - to temat wystąpienia, które wygłosi w najbliższy czwartek Marcin Maciejewski, Future(s) Strategist w Ergodesign w Archidesk TV.

Marcin opowie między innymi:

● o znaczeniu zrównoważonego rozwoju i kryzysie wyobraźni, który wpływa na brak zrozumienia wagi odraczanych w czasie konsekwencji,
● o scenariuszach przyszłości climate-non-fiction, stanowiących ważne tło w projektowaniu rozwiązań,
● o trendach i zmianach, na które warto zwrócić uwagę w budowie zrównoważonych przyszłości.

Spotkanie będzie relacjonowane z przestrzeni KATO Urban Corner- Centrum Wiedzy o Celach Zrównoważonego Rozwoju w Katowicach na przez Archidesk.pl.

Boosting innovation, assessing market readiness for change and creating distinctive brands. These are some of the strategic challenges in facing which we support our clients. Whatever the challenge - a new product design or a complete corporate or product strategy, research plays an important role in the process. With the inquisitiveness, creativity and initiative of our team, the solutions we propose respond to the actual needs of our clients.

We are happy that Małgorzata Sapeta a Senior Consultant - Brand Strategist and Researcher on our team has joined PTBRiO, the most prestigious and well-known researcher organization in Poland. It’s a unique community that brings together the enthusiasts of drawing inferences about the market and people.

Małgorzata has been accumulating her research experience for many years. At Ergodesign, she has conducted research to provide answers to clients’ questions about what their product should be like and what solutions it should have to be more appealing to potential users. She has analyzed products’ usable potential, conducted perception research, as well as research into motivations and barriers to using or buying.

Congratulations, Gosia! We are happy we can contribute to the development of this field of research.

Some time ago, the Wawer district announced a tender for the design of a park concept. They wanted to give their residents a unique space that would bring generations together. We won that tender.

We are pleased with the project we carried out for the Wawer district in Warsaw. Using the Design Thinking methodology and elements of our Future(s) Change by Design program, we designed a park concept that fits in with the trends and responds to the real needs of residents.

At the heart of the park stands a tower (the top of the pyramid). From the tower, visitors can watch the surrounding nature, greenery and the night sky from it. Around the tower, there are ready-made ideas for leisure activities.

Our work continues with an architectural competition in which our concept is the starting point for the project.

What else does our concept include? You can read the full case-study here: https://bit.ly/Wawer-case-study-en

The five principles that have helped us design the circular exhibition for the Gdynia Design Days 2022 - Ergodesign

Every exhibition is a spectacle that calls for the right scenery and background. Exhibition design is always an individual project, tailored to the narrative and exhibits to be shown. Can an exhibition be designed to be circular, despite the one-off nature of such events? We took up this challenge when preparing the exhibition The Story of One Kettle. The future Lab by Ergodesign for the Gdynia Design Days.

Check out the latest article on our blog to find out:

· How an exhibition can be circular?
· What the five Waste Hierarchy principles of circular design are and how we implemented them in our project?

We would like to thank our partners FIXIT SA and SPICE For SPACE. You made it possible to implement many circular solutions.

The five principles that have helped us design the circular exhibition for the Gdynia Design Days 2022 - Ergodesign Jesteśmy Ergodesign. Projektujemy cyrkularnie i doradzamy strategicznie. Wprowadzamy na ścieżkę innowacji, wyzwalamy potencjał, sprawiamy, że nowy pomysł wypala. Jesteśmy dla tych, którzy chcą zmiany.
