Clients' testimonies

Gad Zilbertest – System Engineer, EMBLAZE MOBILE Ltd.

EMBLAZE teamed up with IGLOO DESIGN STRATEGY for an entire year to design and develop a packing box and innovative accessories for a cutting-edge cellular device to be marketed globally. IGLOO was chosen for this task after we reviewed the capabilities and proposals of leading design studios from all over the world. Our work with the IGLOO team proved we had made the best choice. Designing a packing box such as this was an extremely difficult task that required market research, meeting strict international regulations, commitment to design-effected differentiation, at a price permitting profitable mass production.
IGLOO coordinated all of these activities, carried out the work successfully, and kept to the project time schedule.
The final product fulfilled all requirements: a retail box that’s one-of-a-kind in integration of functionability, aesthetics, and creativity, as well as a tool for market differentiation through product design.
The Emblaze team was able to generate marketing and product concepts from its work with IGLOO, as well as the gratification that comes from working with convivial professionals who meet the goals that were set.
We are pleased to recommend that all serious companies in the market work with IGLOO to develop and design their products and brand.

Baruch Altman – Systems Director, LiveU

LiveU is a company that is defining the new market for HD-quality live video transmitted from the field simultaneously on multiple cellular networks, one appropriate for television and Internet teams on all expertise levels. An industrial designer needs a wide range of skills and knowledge, and as such IGLOO designers devised the case for a portable live transmission unit, our first flagship product. It was my pleasure to work with IGLOO’s staff during design and preliminary production. IGLOO’s industrial designers showed professionalism, conceptual and operational flexibility, kept to timetables, and were attentive to our demands throughout the process. The design overcame all technological challenges and myriad functional constraints. The product was admired and adopted by the global market beyond all our expectations!

Despite the formidable challenges, you delivered an excellent result: a modular, effective product that fully meets our requirements! We can surely say, “It was worth every penny....” And of course, thank you for your excellent personal relations, patience, and warmth. I wish you success in the future and I’m sure we will meet again to develop other products.

Roee Bigger – R&D Manager, SOURCE Ltd.

IGLOO DESIGN STRATEGY has cooperated with SOURCE Ltd. on industrial design and product development for the outdoors equipment market for more than a decade. During the last two years, I have had the pleasure to lead five development projects in which IGLOO was the industrial designer. They were full partners in the process, from identifying requirements and building the concept; through technological development, design, and engineering; up to and including mass production implementation. Above and beyond what is usually expected for a project, it is evident that IGLOO’s professional team brought with it considerable added value: familiarity with our target market, business expertise, and strategic vision. These advantages, which were evident throughout the development process and in the product itself – in addition to posing the right questions at the right times – contributed to the commercial success of the products. As far as I’m concerned, the implications of working with IGLOO are a structured, informed, and effective development process that achieves the aims of the project through definition of clear goals.

Oshik Efrati – Military Hydration Systems Manager, SOURCE Ltd.
After almost three years of working together with IGLOO’s industrial designers on a variety of projects, I can testify that beyond creative solutions and attractive product design, there is added value in working with IGLOO DESIGN STRATEGY on product design and design strategy projects. The experience and wide-ranging vision of industrial designers like those I met at IGLOO transforms them into full partners in the project, beyond design and development of the product. They are actually the only partners who really understand the technical development as well as the marketing aspects of the project, which undoubtedly contributes to the so-important added value they provide. As I embark on my independent career, working with IGLOO in the future will be a natural choice.

An industrial designer can also be an academic…
IGLOO DESIGN STRATEGY has significantly contributed to the positioning of CAVIM as a professional and respected academic institute. The expert product designers of IGLOO have served as lecturers in product design; product development; and innovation, and gave fascinating lectures – to the full satisfaction and enjoyment of the students who received both theoretical and practical knowledge.

Tamir Levy – founder and CEO, ROSSETO Serving Solutions, USA

The American firm ROSSETO specializes in production and marketing of serving equipment and houseware for restaurants and hotels. Hotels in the United States, constantly mired in a competitive environment, are ceaselessly searching for ways to innovate, even in their serving equipment, and want to provide their guests the opportunity to enjoy attractive serving equipment engineered in clever ways.
IGLOO has designed many products for Rosseto, including a variety of dispensers for food products and drinks.
Working with IGLOO, both now and in the past, is characterized by quality, efficiency, and fast response time. The design of clever and effective products, including production implementation, is smooth, and the thousands of kilometers that separate us are of absolutely no significance, not for the company and not for the process…
I feel as if IGLOO were located right across the street…

There is no doubt that I will continue to work with IGLOO DESIGN STRATEGY in any situation that requires design solutions for products meant to advance the objectives of the business.
IGLOO is simply better.
