Feb 28th 2014 // Secutest receives the IF Product Design award

Eckstein Design just received the iF Product Design award 2014 for good design. The award went to SECUTEST, by the Nuremberg-based measurement instrument manufacturer Gossen Metrawatt, submitted by his studio. This product is used by professionals to check the electrical safety of electronic devices and appliances. While designing this instrument, we developed a comprehensive ergonomic concept that converts the manufacturer's operation system into something tangible. The awarded object is presented online in the iF product award gallery of winning designs:

From 22.2.-2.3.2014, the state capital once again hosted MCBW, Munich Design Business Week, one of the top events for international designers, architects, creative workers, industry representatives and companies. During the week, 70 participants gathered for the 3rd ever designer breakfast. The VDID office and the association's president, Stefan Eckstein, addressed the topic, "Creativity from the Internet?". The discussion was lively and multi-faceted. The general consensus is that the internet has dramatically changed the way we work both privately and professionally, however creative processes are fundamentally able to grow without it. To be continued... The discussion generated plenty of content for further discussion.
