In 2018, nao.design collaborated with Perenio, a Czech company specializing in IoT-solutions for building management, to create the design language and industrial design for Perenio's smart home system.
The product line includes an IoT-router as the main component of the system and a set of smart sensors including a smoke detector, a water sensor, a door entry sensor, and a motion sensor.

Since the company provides solutions both for homes and offices, the crucial goal was to create an optimally balanced design suitable for the workplace and home environment yet exquisite and sharp. Being a part of Perenio’s brand identity, the core values of Perenio products and services are a precise structure and consistency. The proposed design language reflects these values and translates the symbolism of its brand identity into vivid visual elements.

INSPIRATION
While performing our design research, we found our inspiration in the industrial design of the 1970-s with its principle of “less but better” where the complexity of a device's functionality comes in hand with purity and simplicity of form.
FORM
Circles and squares, simple geometric shapes with straight lines and curves, manifest minimalism and convey a feeling of solidity.
Design principle
All devices in the line are built based on ratio and proportion. We’ve created a rule of 1, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/8 for positioning where: 1 is the size of the main entity, 1/3 is the size of each device, 1/4 is the size of other design elements such as the aluminum logo placeholder or button. Following this rule creates a consistent look and feel for the product line.
Rectangular-shaped logo placeholders with a silver glossy finish add a sleek and elegant look to the aluminum-coated enclosure.
