This is not something easily achieved. Simple and cynical repackaging of an existing technology will be found out: the consumer has to appreciate the innovations and believe in the product to truly buy into the brand. This is where Design Stream's expertise in both engineering and design aesthetics enables us to see the bigger picture, and then do something about it. Our skills enable us to engage with a product on all levels. We design from the inside out, re-engineering the functional elements that define it and so improving operation and outcome.

This innovation drives change in the way we perceive a product visually and ultimately enhances the way it is designed from an external perspective. The result is a unique new product in a market crammed with clone-like competitors. Seamlessly integrated technology and product design creates an offering that not only 'does what it says on the tin' but also has the power to become an iconic presence in the market place. It changes the way the consumer perceives the product: it bolsters the brand: it gives you the edge.

Inside Out: the Power of Appliance Design

In recent years certain brands have come to define a product type: think of mini digital music players or a certain bagless vacuum cleaner and you get the idea.

But these phenomena have not succeeded by chance and a bit of astute marketing. They are proof of the power of innovative and idiosyncratic appliance design. By not being afraid to buck the trend and rethink a basic product type they have redesigned the way the product works and, as a consequence, changed the way it looks. They have innovated to create a product that has become a 3D visual brand.
