Congratulations Kenny!

Before joining No Picnic, designer Kenny Wong did his bachelors project for ABB Robotics. This project led to two years development work together with a large and international engineering team for realization of the project. The project right now is a prototype for development under the name FRIDA (Friendly Robot for Industrial Dual arm Assembly). FRIDA is an easy-to-install robot that can work safely next to humans, in places that are ergonomically designed for manual assembly, without the need for separating the workspace of human and machine. The project recently reached high credibility with the Red Dot Design Concept Award Best of the Best.

A big thank you to all of our guests who made this Lucia celebration extra enjoyable!
For those who could not make it, we have captured this moment of Swedish Tradition on video.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from all of us at No Picnic!

Instead of buying gifts this year, No Picnic decided to buy the worlds most expensive socks. The investment helps lonely children’s situation,  not only at Christmas but in their everyday life.

We wish you all Happy Holidays!

The Evoko Room Manager has received another award for its smart design. This time its a Design For Asia Award (DFAA) by Hong Kong Design Center. We are very happy for this global recognition.

The Evoko Room Manager is a revolutionary conference room management system with plug and play integration to the existing Exchange Server. The touch-sensitive screen displays the booking status clearly outside each meeting room.

Immediate needs, such as booking an instant meeting, ending a meeting early, or checking the room status, can now be solved directly using Evoko. The illuminated red or green glow makes it easy to see from a distance whether the room is free or not. The interface itself is just as intuitive and self-explanatory.

Time to clean up the Sony project room to make room for the next project with Sony Design Centre in Tokyo, Japan.

We are excited to start our next project with Tetra Pak and their Front End Innovation & Design Department in Lund, Sweden.

We are very  happy to welcome Montblanc as a new client and are looking forward to many pleasant trips to Hamburg.

No Picnic has been rewardad with an iF product design award 2012 for the development of the audio interface “Balance”, together with Propellerhead.

“Balance” is a 2-in/2-out audio interface for recording and playback. It’s the first hardware product ever from the top-tier music software company – Propellerhead.

Interaction is facing the user on the top-side instead of the common short-side. With colour-coded inputs for all the gear, instruments are always connected and ready to record. An equally large knob for speakers and headphones acknowledges that music makers of today are as likely to create at a workstation as on their laptop with headphones on.

The If product design award is one of the world’s oldest, best-known design competitions. The international jury of experts bestowed an IF design award on 1,218 entries from a total of 4,322 entries from 48 countries this year . All winners will receive an IF seal of design excellence, which remains valid for the entire product lifecycle. The 2012 installment of the IF product design award took place for the 58th time.

Kudos to Architects Elding/Oscarsson for an amazing work with the old stable building that No Picnic is housing in. Always great to be on a list.

Ericsson AIR from No Picnic clearly convinced the judges in the red dot design award. On Monday, July 4th, the “red dot award: product design 2011″ was brought to a brilliant conclusion. To celebrate the winners of one of the most renowned international product competitions, the who’s who of the international design scene met in the architecturally stunning Aalto-Theater in Essen, Germany.

The red dot gala cast a spell over more than 1200 guests from around the world. Representatives from all areas of design, media, economy, and politics gathered for the awards ceremony. The awarded project was a collaboration between Ericsson, Kathrein and No Picnic. This kind of award is the first that has been given for an Ericsson product in modern time.
