 London Associates Change the Way We WorkA radical new product concept has just been announced by Ambidexx and it calls into question the way people have traditionally used their hands for working.The products improve performance, reduce fatigue and protect hands for a multitude of everyday work related tasks. Autoglym, a "premium" well respected brand has launched the first Ambidexx products into the UK car care market with the "Perfect Palm Applicator" and "Perfect Palm Polisher." Like all Ambidexx products, they stay on the hand with no gripping and conform easily to any surface, improving efficiency, coverage and the quality of final results. The company behind the products is a consortium of "expert organisations" covering everything from product design development and intellectual property to material science and high volume production. The innovation has been trialed by multi national FMCG companies who have all contributed to the final design and ensured that it's wholly driven by customer needs. The product concept has been developed to offer "solutions" in many markets and the company is currently in discussion with brand owners to demonstrate how the essential elements of the ambidextrous hand interface, which fit 95% of adults, are easily customised for specific application requirements. These cover everything from healthcare and cleaning to DIY - offering the opportunity to change customer perception and improve sales of consumables by the use of genuine innovation. more London Associates Change the Way We Work design directory London Associates > Industrial Design Consultancies added by Levent OZLER |

 RKS and Neuma Usher in a New Age of Tattoo Artistry, Comfort, and SafetyWorld-recognized strategy, innovation, and design consultancy RKS announced the introduction of the Neuma Hybrid Tattoo Machine, as RKS helps Neuma revolutionize the tattoo industry and usher in a new age of artistry, comfort, and safety.The superior technology of Neuma tattoo machines benefits tattoo collectors and artists alike - with the lighter-weight, fully-autoclavable tattoo machine delivering a less painful tattoo experience and drastically reduced healing times. When you climb into a chair, ready to have a needle pierce your skin at the rate of 80 to 150 times per second, a little pain reduction would be nice and protection from blood-borne disease is essential. Unfortunately for many, the technology behind traditional electric coil tattoo machines has barely evolved since its invention in the late 1800's. Still in wide use today, these machines are heavy, awkward, loud, temperamental, and, worst of all, they can't be sterilized in medical grade autoclave machines. Dissatisfied with traditional coil machines, award-winning tattoo artist and inventor Carson Hill set out to create a completely new kind of tattoo technology - the first air-powered tattoo machine. Carved out of solid aluminum years before the MacBook made it cool, the original pneumatic tattoo machine, known as the Neuma2, was light-weight and fully-autoclavable. Hill knew the tattoo artists would greatly benefit from this feather-weight machine. more RKS and Neuma Usher in a New Age of Tattoo Artistry, Comfort, and Safety design directory RKS > Industrial Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
