We know design isn’t just about making a product easy on the eyes. Our goal is to simplify and improve product experiences by applying a strategic design thinking approach to our work. In the end, we believe this leads to better solutions for people and for the planet.

Setting a new standard

Kverneland wished to set a standard for their range of front plain mowers. A modern style that fullfils user requirements, to set their products apart from competitors. The task for Design-People was to define a new "look & feel" of the design family, addressing the challenges and innovation potentials with the existing models. 



Beside covering the Kverneland brand, another 2 sub brands had to be taken into consideration. Only a few technical differences, set the individual products apart. The big difference is colors. Colors are an important part of branding on agricultural machinery, as from a distance, this is what you see in the field.

"The new design was launched at the Agritechnica fair in Hannover in November 2023, and it immediately had a positive impact. Apart from providing significant exposure for our product range and generating sales leads during the fair, sales have already exceeded even our most optimistic volume projections. This has already proven to be a very good business case for us."
