The customer
Danish Damixa was founded in 1932. Today Damixa is known world wide for mixer taps that combines Scandinavian design with great functionality. Damixa calls it: "When design makes sense" so why not create a design that can be used by all?
The task
At DESIGN CONCERN we believe that knowledge about users and their needs is the fundamental driving force in creating designs that are successful both functionally, aesthetically and commercially. We have designed the new Damixa Clover Easy handle by looking into user needs in order to create a design for life.
The solution
Thoroughly prepared Damixa Clover Easy is based on the philosophy ”design for everyone”. Through user-democratic innovation methods, we have continuously involved users in the development and the new handle is thus thoroughly tested before launch.
Five phases of the design proces:
1. Analysis of user needs
2. Creative design and idea development
3. Development and testing of prototypes
4. Adaptation of design
5. User testing before market launch
The result
The result is a beautiful handle with a stylish expression. A handle that opens and closes with a light touch, either by hand, arm or elbow. Therefore, it can be used equally easily by anyone; regardless of whether it is small child hands that need to have batter removed of the fingers, hair that should be washed or a toothbrush
that needs to be rinsed clean.
The handle has a soft, wavy look and a nice rubberised surface that is pleasant to touch.
The users voice:
"I have nickel allergy, so the rubber coating is really good. Not just for me but also for others who have problems with the skin. And I think that Damixa Clover Easy is really smart — also to look at."
“It slides easily. Even for a disabled hand it is easy to deal with. I can recommend it, both to disabled and normal hands. I think it is really beautiful."
