Ecodesign – Dhemen

Some projects make improvements at an aesthetic level. Others, at a functional one. Still others at a technical level, and others in user-experience. Ikusi sets the bar at the union of every one of those in this project, and has asked Dhemen to design not only the product, but the entire user-experience, placing special emphasis on the installation and the problems the installer may encounter.

Reinforcing the technological aspect through exquisite control of form and judicious choice of colours, materials and finishes, the end product acquires a presence endowed with clean, elegant lines which, in conjunction with proper use of light, come together to form a solid and coherent brand-product image.

Once product control is established, the packaging is possibly the key aspect of this project.

Thanks to the study and subsequent design proposal carried out by Dhemen, the assembly process becomes simplified in such a way that many hours are saved by each installer when it comes to the assembly of every single installation.

BOJ

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.

Betik

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.
