The challenge

Carry out a thorough redesign of a range of floor boxes.

Our solution

For this project Cides joined forces with Vergokan's R&D department. The collaboration led to a considerable simplification of the old product range, which had grown organically over the years. By analysing and regrouping the functions, we arrived at a modular range of products that offers wider possibilities.

Throughout the design process, the new concepts were systematically tested by different stakeholders, making the pros and cons of each solution clear. IP specialists were also involved to gain a clear view of the intellectual property.

As part of this project, Vergokan filed patent applications for a number of notable innovations.

Let's make it tangible!

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