DN is a multi disciplinary design agency helping companies around the world develop and design the products, strategies and graphics of tomorrow.
Starting a new Business Unit is no easy task. To help define targets, test some strategies and to weld the new BU team together, ZyXEL brought in DN. Using the strategic game "Breakaway" DN led a strategic workshop to get to grips within the basic ideas of the new Business Unit, its focus and the kind of products to be developed.
Consensus and internal communication with the BU was also strengthening as production staff, admin and marketing personnel developed ideas together.
Together with ZyXEL's management team, DN have developed their new packaging system for the consumer range of routers, firewalls and security products.
In developing the new packaging system for ZyXEL, the main aim was an uncompromising and clean packaging design, expressing ease of installation, youthful innovation and new thinking.
ZyXEL's newest gateway was developed and designed together with DN. By combining VoIP capabilities with a traditional WLAN gateway a truly innovative product has been created.
The gateway has been designed to both stand, hang and lay on a flat surface, this is made possible by adding a small and simple plastic part - used only when laying and hanging, and therefore not interfering with the overall design language.
The gateway has now been awarded the 2007 Red Dot Award for its outstanding design and functionality. Congratulations to ZyXEL on this prestigious award.
