CAMU 1200
Design: Industrial Designer Antti Väisänen, Pekka Silen, Frank Russi, Innvolve Oy
Dust is the biggest problem on construction sites: it is a health hazard and hinders the worker’s progress from one task to another. Consair developed a functional and simple solution for this problem. CAMU 1200 is a portable workstation for mixing plaster and grout. The main goal in its design was to find ways to motivate construction site workers to engage in dust control. User-based design and the participation of users in product development and testing were included in all stages of product development and they also helped motivate users. The product, business and brand were constructed in a comprehensive manner with the clientele in mind.
