Electrolux design philosophy: Human Touch
The global design organization comprises 200 team members at 7 design centers around the world: Stockholm, Sydney, Singapore, Curitiba, Charlotte, Shanghai, and Vallenoncello.
At Electrolux, designing outstanding experiences with a human touch lies at the heart of everything we do within Group Design. It’s about designing innovative, intuitive and desirable products that are seamlessly a part of our consumers’ daily lives. This not only requires appealing design, but an intuitiveness that anticipates how long-lasting connections are formed and maintained between our consumers and our products.
This is our design philosophy, and we call it “Human Touch”. Human Touch means designing for all our senses – from the overall quality of materials, and fit, feel and finish to thoughtfulness of use and context through in-depth usability testing. It’s the difference between products that are only aesthetically pleasing and products that provide meaningful holistic experiences.
In a world where everything in the home is becoming connected, the role we play in design ensures that every experience has that human connection. Great design creates outstanding consumer experiences and helps shape living for the better.
