Thanks to this, the result was such that it required the use of the American KICKSTARTER platform in order to generate an international crowdfunding programme in order to gauge market interest. They were blown away by the result: pre-order sales of more than €550,000 between the two platforms of Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

BOJ

Dhemen — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 08:25:28 +0000

Boj is a century-old brand which has built its reputation on well-known and recognisable products in the world of wine and household goods.

Dhemen has a firm relationship with the brand as its design studio, and in addition to redesigning its corporate identity in 2016, was tasked with the redesign of its iconic wall-mounted corkscrew.

The project stemmed from two fundamental premises: Improve usability of the product to allow easy operation for any type of user, and build a more sustainable product through an eco-design process to control and minimise its environmental impact.

Thus, in satisfying the first demand of the project and improving user experience, the result is an object whose functionality and usability have been completely reimagined. It uses a new, patented mechanism to simplify as much as possible the extraction of the cork from the bottle in just one natural movement.

This project was required to be eco-designed and Dhemen, an ISO 14006 eco-design compliant studio, employed all applicable processes throughout an environmentally sustainable project which controlled the entire product life-cycle, its carbon footprint and materials traceability to create an object built to last under heavy use, and to avoid obsolescence at all costs.

Castro

Dhemen — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 09:31:40 +0000

The nautical world is well-known to Dhemen throughout its history and Castro is a brand boasting more than 50 years manufacturing equipment in this sector.

Under the clear premise of functionality and aesthetics, the project to redesign their classic inflatable boating fender presented a challenge for Dhemen’s design team and Castro.

In the quest to make the best possible use of the material and protection surface, Dhemen proposes a fender featuring clean lines, yet offering the largest possible contact surface, together with an uncluttered rope area and easy user access.

Castro’s new NFD Series offers a modern, clean and efficient way to protect craft, by placing the aesthetic component in a minimalist package – with an attention to detail which makes them appear tailor-made for each and every craft on which they are used.

Xiongan

Xiong’an es el nombre de la que en China ya denominan “la ciudad del futuro”. Una ciudad de nueva creación y todo un lienzo en blanco a la hora de replantear cómo se han de definir los parámetros de la relación de la ciudad y sus habitantes.

Para el proyecto de diseño del mobiliarios urbano de la ciudad de Xiong’an, Dhemen redefine el status quo en términos de Diseño, Integración y Sostenibilidad con una propuesta natural, moderna y humana.

La ciudad de Xiong’an está construida en torno al agua, elemento que baña la ciudad en su práctica totalidad, es una ciudad de ferviente expansión y se ha proyectado como pulmón tecnológico y de futuro. Por ello e inspirados por el agua, el tiempo y la naturaleza, tomando como referencia elementos estratificados como el Flysch de Zumaia (pero también presentes en todo el mundo, China incluida), la propuesta de Dhemen versa sobre líneas orgánicas, proporciones humanas, integración tecnológica y mínimo impacto para dar una solución global y controlada, pero versátil y flexible, a todos los espacios de la ciudad, con sus distintas necesidades y características.

Betik

Dhemen — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 12:17:25 +0000

The LUX disposable tableware set of the Betik brand is one of those projects where any designer can achieve multiple objectives and from many perspectives. Probably the most important ones in this particular case are the human and sustainable ones. Betik came to Dhemen with the opportunity to design a totally new disposable tableware system and wanted to position it on the top range of the disposable segments by its design and its sustainable characteristics. That’s why Dhemen added a new material to the Betik portfolio with the Sugar Cane and applied it to the whole LUX system.

A stackable system of plates was created in a set of three measures, opening and defining an environment of use as wide as possible and using a minimalistic formal language with moderate but appropriate stylistic details, LUX was developed and opened a new horizon for the Betik brand.

Dhemen has been, since 2009, proud holder of the ISO 14006 homologation of ECO DESIGN. Projects like this are not only made by necessity, but by conscience and principles.
