Here’s how XGIMI created its new design language
I interviewed senior industrial designer Marcos Chen during BGR’s trip to XGIMI’s headquarters in Chengdu, China. He taught me the company’s new design language. According to him, XGIMI wanted to stand out from other companies, so they wanted their products to “match people’s home environment. That’s why we decided to use fabric, warm colors and wood.”
To live up to XGIMI’s motto and enrich people’s lives, the company wanted to make it easy for consumers to choose a projector over a TV as their next purchase. “I think the gimbal system is the most innovative part of this new lineup. It can bring different experiences to the user and it is easier to place the projector.”
Unlike other projectors, XGIMI gives a lot to some of its high-end products Apple Watch Chen explain that this is part of the new home aesthetic. “We want our products to feel more comfortable, so that you don’t feel like you have a machine in your home, but a decoration, a piece of art. We design everything as a bundle. Once you see our products for the first time, you know they are ours because they are consistent.”
This is only possible because XGIMI manufactures everything in-house, from product concept to manufacturing. “We like to invite people to join the workshop; We want to embrace different perspectives, ideas and perspectives. We love marketing, engineering, design and bringing people from all fields together to create something new.
