PONG
Berlin, Germany
About
Berlin industrial design studio founded in 2015, specializing in smart home, IoT, and sustainability-focused hardware.
Our Take
PONG is an industrial design studio—their portfolio of 33+ projects covers physical hardware including smart thermostats (Tado°, $102M funded), EV chargers, electric tractors (iF Gold Award 2024), and sustainable consumer goods, with clients like Viessmann, Huawei, and Ikea.
Published case studies show strong design rationale and manufacturing expertise but no digital UX work—no interfaces, user research, or screen-based design is visible in the portfolio.
Best for teams needing physical product or hardware design with a sustainability focus—not for digital product UX projects.
Key strengths
- Multiple iF Gold Awards (2019, 2024) and German Design Awards—independently verified design quality across smart home and agricultural hardware
- 10+ year partnership with Tado° from early startup to Europe's largest smart thermostat producer ($102M funded, sold in all Apple stores)—signals deep embedded collaboration capability
- Own consumer brand (TIO sustainable toothbrushes) gives firsthand experience taking products from concept through manufacturing to market
Good to know
- This is an industrial/hardware design studio—no digital UX, UI, or screen-based work is visible in the portfolio; not suited for digital product projects
- At €150–199/hr for a 2-9 person owner-run team, rates sit at the upper end for Berlin—justified by iF Gold Awards and major client roster, but confirm scope alignment before engaging
- Strong in smart home and sustainability hardware but no visible work in software, SaaS, or digital interfaces—verify relevance to your project type
