Christmas is just around the corner, and we’re wrapping up the last projects before it’s time to drink glögg, wear fluffy socks and spend time with our families. So in case you have planned on stopping by be aware that the office will be closed from 24th of December until the 4th of January. Any other time we look forward to welcoming you ;)

Merry Christmas and a happy new year from all the makers.

The DALI Sound Hub Compact is here! 

It plays a central role in the DALI Hi-Fi ecosystem wirelessly transmitting audio sources. The Sound Hub Compact is designed with efficient use of space in mind, paired with elegant design elements as the DALI speakers to which it transmits. 

The project also marks the 12th year Made by Makers and DALI have worked together; what better way to celebrate that than with the launch of this great product. Congratulations on the launch, DALI.

Claus Jepsen joining MADE BY MAKERS

It’s with great excitement that we can reveal that Claus Jepsen has become part of the Made by Makers team. 

He’s a designer with an impressive portfolio and a wealth of experience creating world-class design strategies, products, and user experiences. During his 15+ years at Designit; Claus has worked with a large number of clients from various industries as well as have led a team of talented designers in his role as executive director. To Claus challenging the status quo is not something he is afraid of, if it stands in the way of visions. A belief we share here at Made by Makers. 

So with Claus joining the team, we stand stronger than ever. We believe this will foster even more creativity, greater collaborations and help us solve problems in human-centered ways. Welcome to the team Claus! We are excited to see what the future brings!

We have had the opportunity to help Grundfos design the layout of their annual report.  

Thank you Grundfos for trusting us with this project and for allowing us to develop the visual details and style that bring the report to life. We wish you all a good summer holiday. 

15 years in the making!

This year we celebrate our long-standing collaboration with Phillips Medisize; Masters in Advanced Medical Devices. 

Phillips Medisize is a global end-to-end provider of innovation, development, and manufacturing solutions focusing mainly on drug delivery devices and connected health solutions. At Made by Makers we are thrilled to have worked with the team at Philips Medisize and to have contributed to their device development and design over the years. 

Therefore, we want to say a BIG thank you to Philips Medisize for trusting us in the process, for all the exciting projects we have worked on together, and a very engaging collaboration. 

YES YES YES

Yesterday something great happened. 

The Hegenberger Speculum - A project we are very honored to be a part of, won a Danish Design Award in the catagory: Better work.

Here is what the jury said:

“It is somewhat mind-boggling to learn that this problem hasn’t been addressed from a design perspective in more than a century and a half. The impact of the solution touches both the health and social dimensions for the mother and allows the medical staff to do better work. The new design replaces the harsh, metal speculum with smooth silicon, alliviating pain for the patient and increasing the visibility while suturing, allowing the clinician to work freely. 

Given how many operations are performed this is an important solution that could have a high level of positive impact.”

The biggest thanks to Malene and Hegenberger Speculum for making us a part of this special journey. We can’t wait to see what positive impact the product will bring in the future.

Danish Design Award - Finalist

With the crisis that has played out since last week, design has never been as important as now. It’s a way of accelerating ideas, improve on how we do things, and create product or service solutions that help the world we live in.

That’s why we at Made by Makers are both proud and honored to reveal that we together with Hegenberger Speculum have been chosen as finalists at the Danish Design Award 2020. 

Midwife Malene Hegenberger has invented a new speculum, a revolutionary tool to improve perineal repair for women following delivery. A product we are happy to have helped design and that we think deserves to be celebrated for the good, innovative and beautiful design solution it is.

2020 in a new gear

Promovec is a Danish company specializing in electric bikecycle production and service. They have since 2005 been leading the field, combining green energy and health in their award winning products. Now they will join forces with the Made by Makers team to work on a new project. We’re excited to have the opportunity to work with Promovec and we will reveal more about the collaboration when we’re a bit further down the (bike) lane. 

DALI KATCH ONE IS OUT

A soundbar that combines impressive audio reproduction with an elegant design. It contains a number of details and features that we have designed together with the team from DALI.

Drawing inspiration from DALI KATCH (DALI’s transportable Bluetooth-speaker) we developed KATCH ONE but added new details, functions, and visual design. This resulted in a soundbar that we believe stands out amongst others in the category. Thanks again DALI for the collaboration and congratulations on the very positive response to the product.

Say hi to Sarah who will be our intern in the autumn

Sarah is currently studying for a Master’s degree in Industrial Design at Aalborg University and has throughout her study developed a strong interest in medico products. She finds working with products which have a focus on user-experience the most interesting and important parts of being a designer. At Made by Makers she is involved in different projects at different stages. She says that working with all types of assignments gives her the opportunity to experience different aspects of the design-process and thereby improve her skills.

A big warm welcome to Sarah - we are happy to have you on the team.

News from Timedico

TiMedico’s new Tempus600 Quantit has received positive feedback and huge interest since it was launched in May at EuroMedLab 2019.

At Made by Makers we are excited about this and happy to have been involved in the development process from Tempus600 Vita to Tempus600 Quantit.

Congratulations on all the positive feedback on the new product, TiMedico!

Thank you, Hyperfine

Our new collaboration with Hyperfine is something we are very proud of. A successful collaboration is built on a shared vision and mutual trust, and we are thrilled that Hyperfine has entrusted us to be part of their mission:

To make MRI ACCESSIBLE. AFFORDABLE. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.

The president of Hyperfine worked with the principals of Made by Makers on a number of product design projects in the past, and was very confident that Hyperfine could benefit as well.

What began from personal experience with expensive, inaccessible and complex MRI systems, has evolved into taking on a global challenge how to bring MRI to the 4.7 billion people around the world that do not have access this life-saving technology. To do this, Hyperfine is addressing five questions:

• What if 100% of the world could access MRI?

• What if MRI could be brought directly to the patient?

• What if every hospital or clinic could afford MRI?

• What if an MRI exam could be as easy to run as the playlist on an iPad?

• What if MRI was safe enough to hold someone’s hand during the exam?

Curious about Hyperfine and this project? Check out their website: https://www.hyperfine.io/

DALI iO: Sound that never tires

With a clear focus on quality sound, class-leading battery time, and audio comfort; DALI launched their new DALI iO wireless headphones a few days ago. These are headphones built for extended listening with a comfortable, durable design - designed in collaboration with Made by Makers.  

We’re happy to once more have worked closely with the DALI team to develop a product as close to the user as possible - and we’re very excited to hear the first responses.

P.S. If you want to know more about what other projects we have helped DALI design, you can find it here: https://www.madebymakers.com/dali-speakers or https://www.dali-speakers.com/

Hegenberger

Together with Malene Hegenberger, we have been on an exciting journey over the past year. Hegenberger has invented a new speculum, a revolutionary tool to improve perineal repair for women following delivery, and we have assisted her in refining her design.
In this video, Hegenberger shares how it was to work with Made by Makers.

We just added 15 years of experience to the company!

A new year - and some exciting things are happening here at Made by Makers as a very skilled and experienced designer is joining the team and is adding a new profile to our design company.

Our new designer is Emil Wegger Jensen who has an education in architecture and industrial design. For the past 15 years he has worked at Designit; Europe’s largest strategic design consultancy with offices in 17 cities around the globe and clients in various sectors, including healthcare, finance, transportation, telecommunications, automotive and consumer goods.

The 1st of February Emil is joining us. He brings with him a wealth of experience ranging from project scoping, management, user insights, and human centered design to 3D modelling, prototyping and CMF. Furthermore, his in-depth understanding of the technical aspects of any given project is something we look forward to implementing at current and future Made by Makers projects.

No doubt Emil is a big win for the team as a whole and we are very pleased to welcome him to the team.

"Paying attention to details makes the difference"

Being a designer is being able to see the details; observe how an object functions, looks, and feels. 
We have made a video illustrating how we see the world as makers.

Did you know that... we have moved location?

Here at Made by Makers it has been quite busy lately, as we have moved into our new office in Højbjerg. Here we are closer to nature but still surrounded by other companies and that combination seems to be just right for us. We look forward to seeing you in Højbjerg

FANTASTISK SAMARBEJDE MED MADE BY MAKERS I AARHUS 

Uddrag fra artikel i Magasinet Pleje:

"Direktør, Daniel Blak fra Timedico, som står bag udviklingen af TEMPUS600 Vita udtaler: “Vi har været i tæt samarbejde med Made by Makers omkring udviklingen af design og ny brugerflade til vores blodprøvestander. Standeren var lanceret men kunne ikke sælges på eksportmarkederne fordi design og brugerflade ikke var god nok og fordi den fyldte for meget på hospitalerne. Derfor indgik vi et samarbejde med Medico Technical Innovationscenter (MTIC) under Region Midt, og der blev inviteret 4 designbureauer hvor Made by Makers var det ene. Vi var ikke spor i tvivl om, at Made by Makers var de rigtige til opgaven. De forstod problemstillingen bedst, og de kom med den rigtige energi og måde at angribe opgaven på. Derfor indgik vi samarbejde med dem, og det har vi ikke fortrudt.”

Daniel Blak fortsætter: “Vi er faktisk ovenud begejstrede for Made by Makers. De er yderst kompetente og har løftet os gennem hele projektet. De har forstået at udfordre os indenfor den økonomiske ramme, og det der næsten har overrasket mig mest er, at de også er meget produktionsteknisk vidende. Det betyder, at vi har fået en samarbejdspartner, der både forstår brugernes ønsker og kan omsætte det til løsninger, vi kan arbejde med.

Vi har haft rigtig mange løsningsforslag, som alle har været yderst velbegrundede, og en efter en har vi i et tæt samarbejde snævret løsningen ind. Baggrunden for den valgte løsning er, at Made by Makers har lavet en omfattende brugerundersøgelse på en række hospitaler. De har været et uundværligt input i processen. I dag er Made by Makers vores faste designhus, og vi har lavet mange projekter sammen siden.”
