Child safety tassel on the cords of a venetian blind

The challenge

Make the operation of indoor venetian blinds child-safe.

Our solution

We designed a tassel that releases the cords when a child gets entangled. We achieved this by repeatedly generating ideas and testing them with prototypes, resulting in a very reliable and easy-to-use mechanism. Once released, the tassel is easily reassembled.

To our great delight, the idea won the Z&R Product of the Year award right at its launch. The jury praised the product for its ingenious simplicity and functionality.

Let's make it tangible!

Cross-pollination is not a side effect of what we do, it is part of how we work.
