AGV

AGV is an automated guided vehicle chassis designed for complex building construction environments. The platform carries robotic arms, or a lifting system together with robotic arms, and supports work at height and logistics tasks. Simultaneous localization and mapping and dual radar detection allow autonomous positioning, while a four-steering-wheel navigation algorithm enables path planning and obstacle crossing. The body is made of high-strength aviation aluminum, and the main frame is dustproof and waterproof. Adjustable light belts show the machine status.

Grundig Heinzelmann 75th Years Edition

Grundig Heinzelmann Limited Edition is a promotional animation film created for a radio inspired by a historic design. The Heinzelmann radio was introduced in 1946 as a wooden box radio built without tubes. The film reinterprets this heritage through a world of wood and brushed metal in harmony. All elements were modelled and animated in three-dimensional space using computer graphics. The film runs for sixty seconds in full high definition and ends in a room with a retro yet modern atmosphere.

My Coin

My Coin is a short three-dimensional animated film about the meaning of value. The story follows a boy who drops a coin into a sewer. A wealthy man sees the boy and offers a gold bar instead of the lost coin. For the boy, the gold is only a tool to recover the coin, while the man sees gold as the greater prize. The film shows that each person holds a different standard of value. My Coin was created with computer animation software, which allowed the characters and their actions to be exaggerated for dramatic effect.

NikolaTesla Fit

NikolaTesla Fit represents a concentrate of technology in which cooking and suction are perfectly integrated in a space that allows installation even on 60 cm kitchen bases. Ideal for small rooms, but also for those kitchens where it is not possible to install independent hobs and hoods. The conceptual effort has focused on finding a balance between performance, functionality, ergonomics, technology, small size and versatility. The great challenge in terms of design was to be able to contain all these elements in a formal synthesis that gave life to an object with clean and essential lines.

Lavazza Elogy Milk

This coffee machine with integrated milk frother offers the complete package of Italian coffee culture: from espresso to cappuccino or latte. The design takes inspiration from Italian coffee shops and bars and is an evolution of Lavazza's existing form language. It is characterised by a big, seamless shell with three-dimensional Lavazza logo on the side. Metal accents underline the main touch points like lever, drip grid and UI. The Lavazza in Black system also offers peel-able coffee pods that can be recycled more easily. A lot of work went into reducing noise level and energy consumption.

Piks

Piks is a construction toy designed for children between three and twelve years old. The set combines non-toxic silicone cones with solid beech wooden boards. The aim of the game is to build an original structure using all of the pieces without any of them falling down. The silicone cones hold the wooden boards in place, allowing many construction possibilities. Through balancing, children practice concentration, fine motor skills and decision making. Included cards suggest shapes to build, while free play is also encouraged.
