Tools of the Trade: Waterdrop Chief Design Officer Christoph Hermann’s Five Favorite Things In Christoph Hermann’s line of work, a product isn't just an object — it embodies a multi-faceted design endeavor, resolved through a delicate blend of form, function, and material science. “Every item I engage with, whether it’s a laptop or a water bottle, undergoes a rigorous analysis of its ergonomics, efficiency, and engineering,” says Hermann. The chic European brand just entered the U.S. market, bringing its tech-driven water bottles–think a water bottle cap that filters water and even sends reminders to stay hydrated–to those living in the States. In the story below, he shares five objects — from his go-to water bottle to his stroller of choice — that not only withstand his high level of design standards, but have also become seamlessly integrated into his daily routine and creative process. “In essence, these are not just tools — they are paradigms of what is achievable when we approach design as an amalgamation of form, function, and material science,” he says. “They provide a pure pleasure to use on a daily basis.” And who doesn’t want that?

The design is simple yet layered, offering sophistication without complexity.

It is about the things that make a space memorable. So when a design team adapts design standards appropriately and insightfully, within the context of the 70%-30% rule, the result is a space that supports and enhances your organization’s message, mission and values. https://hubs.ly/Q027b-xW0

My never-ending passion for design is that design is incredibly powerful at every level of society, at every stage of the business world, in all the supports it can provide for life and the protection of our planet. Today, design is more powerful than ever. Design is the power of change. This power gives the design a leadership role. The leading role of design is due to the fact that it is a strategic area that can turn the direction of change in a positive direction. WDO is the most important umbrella organization in the world, which is very powerful and has mastered its history. I will work to make WDO a more proactive and effective organization that not only contributes to the development of the world, but also directs the transformation of the world and the impact we create through design and design strategies in this transformation, as well as listening to the expectations and orientations of our members. Many different projects and orientations such as sustainability, new technologies, talking through data, making the impact and policies we create measurable will be present in the heritage of our organization in any case. Think holistically, design holistically and measure its impact at all times ... Hope to get your supports World Design Organization #design4abetterworld

For 100 years, Herman Miller has authored design that is beautiful, useful, and made to endure. We're talking to some of the designers who make up our incredible catalog, like Sam Hecht and Kim Colin of INDUSTRIAL FACILITY, who recently updated their OE1 Workspace Collection last month with additional products. When asked their personal definition of design, they said: “Design is expected to be beautiful, cost little, be freely available, easy to use, be materially responsible and last a long time. What this list reveals is the sometimes contradictory nature of what design is. There are other personal qualities that, as a studio, we must add to this definition: simplicity of execution, lightness of touch, naturalness, and a responsibility to societal contribution. With our added requirements, we arrive at a fuller understanding of the culture of the object—the ability for objects to support humanity collectively.” Learn more about Industrial Facility: https://lnkd.in/eGpe44gm
