The Realise team, their wives, husbands, parents, children and friends all met on the weekend to take part in the long awaited ‘Realise Gift of Growth’. As promised at Christmas, instead of sending the usual Christmas cards to our clients and friends we would plant some trees which gave us the perfect opportunity to do something good for the environment……and drink some beer!
The younger ones show us how it's done!
Here at Realise we are very pleased about our latest magazine fame! New Scientist has written a fantastic piece about a recent product we have been working on which we refer to as the ‘Bee Hotel’. Working alongside ML Electronics, we designed and manufactured a bee training device designed to reward groups of bees with a syrup solution when they detect particular smells.
Bees have a fantastic sense of smell and after a few hours of using the bee hotel, they learn to associate the reward with the odour. The product is currently being tested by UK biotech firm Inscentinel. Have a read of the full New Scientist article, page 19 issue 2752, or read our previous blog article about the innovation & design of the Bee Hotel.
Graduate designer Min-Kyu Choi saw a design problem and he’s fixed it! Last night Korean born Choi won the Brit Insurance Design Award for his folding plug . He has dramatically improved the present chunky design by creating a slim, elegant, inclusive design solution which could very possible be used universally in the future. The plug is less than 1cm thick and is very easy to use- simply turn the pins and open the cover.
