Eyes on the Prize: Catalano Design on Streamlined Product Development
BOSTON (PRWEB) April 17, 2018 -- “The Hifiman Susvara is a true statement design,” says Steve Guttenberg in his CNET review of HIFIMAN’s new Susvara headphone. In addition to featuring HIFIMAN’s planar magnetic drivers which have evolved into the thinnest, lightest and most responsive on the market, the headphones benefit from impressive design elements that have become the standard for HIFIMAN products. Physical design elements such as the super-comfortable ergonomic suspended headband and distinct “Windowshade” grill that minimizes sound reflection are the result of HIFIMAN’s work over many years with industrial design firm Catalano Design.
This week on its website, Catalano highlights its work with HIFIMAN to illustrate the lasting impact design guidelines can have on a company. During Catalano’s very first projects with HIFIMAN - logo development and design of the HE1000 headphone - Catalano established design guidelines for work with HIFIMAN, which resulted in solutions that have become HIFIMAN design assets and details that have been adapted to subsequent products including the Susvara. Catalano emphasizes that design guidelines can enhance a company’s brand recognition though evolution of high quality products that are efficiently and meticulously created to maintain presence in competitive markets.
