Why replace your things just because they’re not state-of-the-art? Smartians are cloud-connected motors that breathe new life into the things around you. Smarten up the things you love. #smartians #smarthome #design vimeo.com/frolicstudio/s…

@FrolicStudio was founded by Ruben van der Vleuten and Andrew Spitz after many collaborations at CIID. Now their studio is delivering even more #impact with the #COVID19 #Decontamination Toolkit. Congratulations to these innovative #alumni & #faculty! bit.ly/2VqwJS0

Refuelling as a service: onsite delivery for fleets of vehicles. For our latest project, we worked with @ShellTapUp to rethink the classic fuel distribution model. frolicstudio.com/portfolio/shel… #productdesign #smartcar #interactiondesign #UX #IoT #InternetOfThings #electronics

Some things are better done by hand. Exploring ergonomics for a grip. #clay #claymodel #industrialdesign #ergonomics #productdesign @ FROLIC studio instagram.com/p/BxriHoaoiY7/…

Today, we welcomed an eager group of visiting product design students from the University for the Creative Arts in the UK. It was pretty cosy in the workshop, but a treat to meet them :)… instagram.com/p/BuFFTgDnyoS/…

Spring is slowly making its way to Amsterdam. We'll soak up the sun whilst our studio is on the sunny side of the street ☀️😎 @ FROLIC studio instagram.com/p/Bt6IJKznlMI/…

Miticuously adding each component to the circuit board... New product in the making :) @ FROLIC studio instagram.com/p/Btvs80AH9R4/…

More young people are suffering from irreversible hearing damage. We worked with @XXSAMSTERDAM and health insurer @Anderzorg to develop a product that simulates hearing loss and tinnitus for people with good hearing. The campaign was launched during #ADE vimeo.com/296816181?ref=…

@msurguy No, there's a lot of design and engineering that has gone into optimizing it for its flexibility already but would be good to look into that as next steps! Thanks :)

@FROLICstudio Are there some 3D printable designs available for Smartians? Like openSCAD or similar, parametric adapters?

@oytywhy Thanks for your enthusiasm! We're hoping to get this to market in the upcoming year. You can get updates by signing up to our newsletter (on our website).
