Handheld enclosures modelled for the hand

Inspired by the touch sensation, the design of the BLOB family of plastic enclosures is entirely focused on the needs of the user.

  • high level of practical value thanks to a convincing touch sensation; the user’s hands intuitively grasp the enclosure in the correct way
    * iF product design award 2014 | German Design Award 2015 *
  • the enclosures are designed to provide an natural grasp position which guides the operator’s hands to the controls
  • gentle and at the same time rugged
  • huge number of possible applications
  • 3 types
  • UNIT – for single handed operation with keypad area and grip
  • CONTROL – can be held with one hand and operated with the other. Separate keypad, activation and grip areas
  • PANEL – for handheld or desktop use. With keypad, activation and two grip areas
  • battery clips and ø 12-23 mm button cells can be accommodated
  • cable glands can be fitted at any position on the circumference of the enclosure
  • recessed operating area for protecting the membrane keypad or decorative foil/label
  • ABS (UL 94 HB), two colours
  • optional IP 54 sealing kit
  • internal screw pillars for PCBs

Designer Statement

"'Wow, this fits your hand perfectly!', was the first comment on this mobile product with universal design. The intelligent form of BLOB was created by optimising ergonomic requirements. Whether young or old, everyone should be able to use these handheld enclosures intuitively. They are also flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of applications and needs of the user. Where does the name come from? From architecture: Blob stands for 'Binary Large OBject', a teardrop-shaped connection that can be formed in an unlimited number of ways."
Martin Nußberger, polyform Industrie Design
