 Coalesse: New Premium Brand Delivers Inspired Furnishings for Work and LifeCoalesse, a new premium brand of furniture for the home and office was unveiled by Steelcase, a global leader in office furnishings.The collection offers a wide range of vibrant and artful expressions, from timeless, iconic designs to new takes on classic needs. Coalesse brings together select products from three of Steelcase's most renowned brands: Brayton International, Metro Furniture and Vecta, in addition to new collections from partners: Carl Hansen & Son (Denmark), Walter Knoll AG & Co. (Germany), and Viccarbe (Spain), creating one of the most expansive premium furniture portfolios. The new Coalesse live/work collection features more than 20 products, and complements Steelcase's current portfolio by focusing on the increasingly growing similarities between work and life. Gone are the harsh lines and glaring surfaces that have long characterized the workplace; Coalesse has replaced them with softened, contoured shapes that represent the new sensibilities of the modern way we work. "Idea-people seldom recognize boundaries between personal and professional lifestyles. They seek style, authenticity and craft, whether at home or at the office. Coalesse opens the office door to the higher degrees of expression and comfort we have at home. More than a new brand, it is a new way of enlightening workplaces to inspire and reward ideas, with selections that fit as naturally in the office as the living room," notes Frank Merlotti, President of Coalesse. more coaless...

 Seymourpowell Tap Into the Future with Cyborg for SaitekDesigners Seymourpowell have created a new "Cyborg" keyboard and mouse with long-term client Saitek, aimed at the increasingly buoyant PC gaming market.Both products are designed to be sympathetic to and ergonomically suited to the needs and habits of PC gamers. They offer many technical features, which both improve the long-term comfort of the user and increase the flexibility and number of controls available. As well as highly adjustable key backlighting, where even specific keys can be lit separately from the rest of the keyboard, the Cyborg keyboard features fully-progammable Cyborg keys, which can be assigned any function the user wishes via Saitek's smart programming software. The Cyborg mouse is the world's first servo-driven adjustable mouse, allowing adjustment for different hand sizes and enabling users to change the type of grip they need at various stages of gameplay. "This project was very much the result of observing real gamers at play", commented Seymourpowell design director Nick Talbot. "For example, we know a lot of gamers like to play in a darkened environment, so the Cyborg keyboard has different levels of illumination, with a variety of colours and intensities programmable via a capacitance-sensing panel of buttons. It also has multiple adjustments, including a fully-adjustable palm rest, because we know some gamers like their keyboard to tilt away from them." more Seymourpowell Tap Into the Future with Cyborg for Saitek design directory Seymourpowell > Industrial Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
