Case 1: Plastic Chair for Kindergartens and Schools For the American company Angeles

We developed a plastic chair with a steel frame, designed for use in kindergartens and schools. When researching the market, it became clear that many competitors relied on heavy steel constructions for strength, while the seat and backrest were merely lightweight plastic shells. This resulted in high material consumption and extensive welding work. We chose a different approach: by integrating the strength directly into the plastic shell, we made it self-supporting, eliminating the need for steel reinforcement in the backrest. Even the stacking buffers were integrated into the plastic mould, simplifying production and reducing the number of components. The frame was developed using round steel tubes – the most cost-effective and efficient solution – and designed as a simple and robust bent-leg structure, ensuring high strength at a low cost. The result is a very sturdy, economical, and lightweight chair, produced in five different heights. The chairs can be stacked both within the same size and across sizes, making them ideal for institutions with mixed age groups.

Case 2: Optimized Wheel Design for Winther – Lower Costs and Greater Sustainability

When developing a new, more affordable bicycle series, we aimed to reduce costs without compromising on quality. Since the wheels account for about one third of a bicycle’s production cost, they were an obvious place to optimize. Previous series used many different wheel types – front and rear wheels, versions with slide bearings or ball bearings, and a special wheel for the scooter. Combined with four different sizes, this resulted in an extensive and complex inventory. In close collaboration with Winther’s skilled team, we designed a new modular wheel that could be used across all variants. This meant that we only needed one wheel per size – four wheels in total instead of around fifteen. At the same time, we managed to reduce plastic consumption by 30%. The result was a more efficient production process, lower costs, and a more sustainable solution – without compromising on functionality or quality.
