We were also there!
Jeeves - the service robot. The end of the minibar. An autonomous robot that can move freely in the hotel. Controlled by phone or app, it delivers drinks, snacks or room service articles around the clock. Minibar was yesterday - today we have Jeeves! Made in Germany by Eckstein-Design Good design, with positive effects on the environment, directly for people.

Also in 2018, we are once again the proud winner of the Red Dot Design Award. This time for the digital multimeter "METRAHIT IMextra" of our customer Gossen Metrawatt.

On behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, BMWI, in cooperation with German Industry and Commerce Greater China, organized a business journey from 22 to 26 January 2018, with a design conference and individual company meetings, to Taiwan. The goal was to initiate future cooperation on Asian or European markets.

As the right-hand person of Eckstein Design, Kristina Hinz spent 5 exciting days on the west coast of Taiwan to meet with different companies and establish new business relationships. A special impression were the food culture with up to 12 courses, the transport infrastructure and the vastness of the cities. Also, the experience of the design conference with Chinese-English live translation and the exciting questions in the panel discussion were a new challenge she would face again and again. Taiwanese people are very intriguing with their country and their culture, and it was an eventful time, which is why she would recommend Taiwan to everyone as a travel destination.
