“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Eco Drop Big Button
Inspired by the scientific principles of convex lenses, where dew forms on leaves, silicone lenses were applied to elevator buttons to aid the elderly. The buttons feature a clean, dew-like design using silicone, recycled paper, and soybean oil ink. With easily recognisable colours, patterns, and thick fonts, the design stimulates the visual senses and promotes cognitive health in the elderly.
