HNA Water Filter | DesignedWise Products

HNA was designed to fulfill a specific unmet need in the water filtration market. Current hub and lateral products do not address the needs of the installer and service men and women who are the primary handlers of the product. HNA is a different kind of hub and lateral that requires only one tool for installation, and doesn’t require reaching into the small cramped neck of the tank. The laterals quickly and easily lock into place which in turn significantly cuts down on installation time.

SOLO II | Peavey Electronics

The redesign of the Peavey Solo stemmed from a simple need of a face-lift, and eventually grew into a completely new ideology for portable amplification. Many of the innovations on the Solo came from looking at how musicians tackle the task of making all their gear mobile. Simple low cost features such as offsetting the weight of the speaker and amplifier side by side, while placing two handles at the topmost points create an ergonomic way to carry a hefty load. The user interface of the SOLO II was simplified by placing the highest priority controls at the users fingertips.

The SOLO II design process can be seen during the Peavey studio tour on American Chopper.
