Incorporating Design Values for C2
Temperature control was rated as one of the top 10 work environment qualities that affect job performance. Herman Miller developed technology for a personal heating and cooling product to help alleviate this problem. They asked Insight to help them with the design of this new product, the C2 Climate Control. The designers had to work around components such as an internal fan and heating element, but were able to come up with a unique design that is human-centered and encourages user-control.
A touch switch easily turns it on or off and adjusts the temperature. The sculptural shape is different than most technology products that are rectangular or square, making it stand out from typical office products. The lightweight product is easily moved around and the C2 also acts as an air filter.
