Recent Consumer Product Developments:
Milieu Climate Smart Thermostat: 2022 Good Design Best in Class Award (Consumer Electronics)
Milieu Climate® allows you to design your environment by controlling the room temperature and monitoring air quality, humidity, pressure, sound, lighting, and motion/occupancy. With its built-in sensors and practical portability, you can maximise your comfort and your energy savings all in one step. The Milieu Climate® smart thermostat gives you the ability to design your environment, reduce your overall energy consumption + save on bills.
Developing a sensory user experience across all touch-points builds a brand: Milieu Climate was conceived from the very beginning as a complete product experience. Every design detail has been purposefully examined + refined, from the smart thermostat device through to instructional/installation manuals, and retail packaging. All visually distinctive, highly desirable, and intuitive. Influenced by the psychological concept of gestalt, Milieu Labs and D+I placed a mindful approach at the centre of the product experience.
Client Testimonial: “D+I have been our design partner for many years. They have an amazing team and their work is exceptional and delivered on time every time. We never hesitate to contact D+I for any of our challenging design work.” – Kevin Mundy (Founder), Milieu Labs (25-02-2022)

D+I worked with Telstra, Australia’s largest telco company, to design and launch the Telstra Locator range, an innovative new ‘IoT finding service’. The Locator range enables consumers to ‘tag’ and ‘track’ the location of the possessions that matter (I.E. Keys, Bags, Bikes, Pets and even business assets like tools or vehicles.) Paired with the Locator smartphone app the Locator range provides a strikingly intuitive tracking system for anything = that works for anyone.
Everdure by Heston Blumenthal - Charcoal Barbeque Range (Shriro):
It’s all about optimising Usability, Operability and Desirability:
Redefining the outdoor cooking experience - Shriro partnered with our experts to develop their new range of charcoal barbeques that are strikingly simple to use + perfectly safe to use on balconies, in backyards and on the beach. Working closely with world-renowned chef Heston Blumenthal through immersive research techniques helped us to better understand customer pain points and inspired the innovations required to overcome them. The biggest challenges? Getting the charcoal up to temperature + cleaning after use. The solution? A single push-button electric ignition system + porcelain enamel coatings on the firebox and charcoal tray. The crisp, clean and simple design of the barbeques reflect what the consumer wants – commercial quality equipment that makes cooking delicious food straightforward.
