Must a water kettle look as a machine? Can it approach the coffee break in expression and form? Can product design become warmer?

There’s no surveillance camera on the market that is designed to really look good in a designed room. The target groups for such a product are more than one. The guarding company is engaged by the building commissioner who has also an architect office involved for the room and building quality.

One day I found a big black bag filled with old circuit cards. The next thing I knew I started creating amazing accessories that embodies my love for electro music, minimalist fashion and quirky things. Segtnan Electronics was born.
