IDEA Finalist, 2009
Bretford Manufacturing, Inc.
RHOMBII® Training Table
From initial concept sketches through prototype build, Bretford Manufacturing collaborated with Cesaroni Design to create a new line of re-configurable training tables. Working closely with Bretford engineers, the design was refined to an architectural form.
The office table design meets the challenges of dynamic work spaces. The tables can be used individually or grouped together. This table design is easily manageable by one person, aiding in timesaving preparation.
The folding work surface and modesty panel development allows the tables to nest tightly together for storage without removing power and data components. Designed with the environment in mind, this training table is constructed from 100% recyclable materials.
This new furniture system was recognized as an International Design Excellence Award Finalist co-sponsored by the Industrial Designers Society of America and Business Week.

Sub-Zero, Inc.
Built-In Refrigeration
Sub-Zero collaborated with Cesaroni Design throughout the new product and development process for the Built-In Refrigeration Line. Configurations include Over-Under, Side-by-Side, and All Refrigerator or All Freezer models.
New food preservation capabilities drove the redesign of this product line. The project team developed specialized storage compartments to maintain proper temperatures and humidity levels for longer food life expectancy.
Our product design and development process with Sub-Zero is extremely interactive. The project began with hand sketches to generate as many valid concepts as quickly as possible. As the new product design progressed, our industrial designers created 3D renderings in SolidWorks, PhotoWorks and PhotoShop software to further validate aesthetic and functional design options.
The industrial designers created ergonomic diagrams to ensure easy access to items. We design parts and assemblies in SolidWorks and electronically share them with our client for review.
The new product design earned both an EID Silver from appliance DESIGN Magazine and a Good Design Award.

Kodak (Böwe Bell+Howell)
Ngenuity Document Scanner
Böwe Bell+Howell collaborated with Cesaroni Design to develop the next generation office product. The project team paid close attention to detail throughout the design and development process in order to produce a premium fit and finish, and improved user experience. Working concurrently with the client's new product development team, we fine tuned the design as they handled the formal engineering.
Our product design firm began the project with a detailed analysis of the client's existing product line and competitive products on the market. Research led to exploration in the form of concept sketches to identify opportunities for aesthetic differentiation. The project team narrowed down concepts that were then illustrated as concept renderings for further aesthetic evaluation.
Basic anthropometrics drove form development and location of user interface elements. We developed ergonomic illustrations and a full scale mockup for testing ease of use. An otherwise complicated device was simplified and made user-friendly through the custom icon designs on the control panel.
The new configuration was detailed for the final design in SolidWorks to move toward prototype development. We also made material recommendations, and supported new procedures for manufacturing and assembly.
The product designers created a unique form to establish strong brand recognition. The original concept's dynamic curve was retained by continually refining the initial design in response to the internal configuration development handled by Böwe Bell+Howell.
The dynamic curve minimizes the overall size, and reflects the action taking place internally. A repetitive chamfered detail on the sides adds visual interest to the large surface. The main access latch is located on the side to pivot the top half of the machine open for accessing internal components. The project team increased the feeder tray capacity by 40% as compared to the competition.
