Stands out by fitting in LINAK® are aware that the form and aesthetics of their products must work together with their customers’ ultimate lift designs. This means that we prioritise adaptability and make our designs friendly with a character that fits in: We do not put logos everywhere, we keep our lines clean and colours neutral, so our fellow designers can easily incorporate our products into their lift concepts. We judge with our eyes In addition to being dependable and efficient, we design our products to be easy on the eye. We know from experience that in stressed healthcare environments, anything that brings order to chaos by delivering a sense of calm and simplicity can help reduce stress. Clean, attractive design also reassures patients, as it signals the hospital or care homes commitment to modern, healthy and streamlined care. Design adds value Good industrial design starts with the end user. As designers, we have a responsibility to create devices which are immediately understandable and easy to use. For the LIFT50TM series, LINAK asked users what was most important to them – a modern design with easy functionality and an emergency stop that was obvious but hard to hit by accident. We focused on making these features simple and intuitive. See it, find it, trust it Design is a kind of language, it explains function through form, colour and dynamics. By creating an exaggerated red button at the top of the unit, we simplified the appearance and prioritised what was most important. Other key functions were also taken into consideration, such as the easy-to-read status lights which we made visible to the users without them having to bend down.
