“All of our projects define the ordinary in an extraordinary way.” - The Techno Creatives Tradition and innovative spirit meet in the Swedish port city of Gothenburg, making it the perfect base for The Techno Creatives. The design agency sees itself as a driver of the digital revolution and specialises in the development of disruptive tech products that challenge the intellect. The agency was founded in 2006 and has been awarded with 18 distinctions since. Some of those winning projects are: 🚤 The RAND Boats Owner’s App provides helpful information like battery status, fuel levels, GPS location, maps and sailing routes. It allows boat owners to access all relevant data about their boat in real time and as easily as possible. 🎼 Elektron Overbridge seamlessly integrates analogue synthesizers and drum machines with computers, treating hardware instruments as software for enhanced control and flexibility. By leveraging digital expertise, designers crafted a visually immersive experience, departing from conventional interfaces. Intuitive interaction patterns cater to musicians, with real-time frequency graphs and user-friendly editing features. The interface, with day and night modes and carefully curated colour schemes, ensures a productive and visually appealing workflow for musicians. 👕 The AEG Interactive Shirt Installation illustrates the advantages of the company’s environmentally- and garment-friendly ÖKOPower washing detergent. The installation consists of a mirror-like display showing a shirt, upon which the washing procedure and the resulting difference in wear and tear depending on the detergent are simulated using projection mapping. The second component is a digital tablet that allows the trade fair visitors to intuitively control the installation and obtain additional information on the functionality of the detergent.
