V2 Studios worked on a new range of water purifiers for the Korean market, focused on communicating Coway’s design philosophy of “Elemental Simplicity”. Designed to balance with their surroundings and communicate ‘Purification’ the CHPSI-7500L & 8500L were released onto the market in 2018, expanding the Coway water purification catalogue. The design was awarded with an IF Design Award, Red Dot Award 2018 and a Good Design Award.
CHPSI-8500L
The iconic design language developed by V2 Studios can be found across the 5 products launched as part of this water purification series, including the CHPSI-8500L. Expanding on the basic features of cold, hot, and room temperature water, this model also includes ice and carbonated water. The products are connected, allowing users to check the product status through IoCare Monitoring, for complete support.
Playskool
A new range of characters and products focused around enhanced developmental play and increased sustainability. A systems approach to the design of the range allows for a high level of interaction between all products, expanding the play experience.
Using plant-based plastic derived from sugarcane, the team successfully adapted the design and development process to work with the benefits and limitations of biobased polyethylene.
Extensive design development from initial sketches to multiple physical prototypes culminated in a fresh new range, perfectly designed for little hands.
A new character aesthetic brings a more contemporary, minimal and cute style to Playskool.
Heightened sensory play through simple, expressive forms, colour combinations, pattern and tactile texture.
Understanding the key developmental stages at each relevant age was fundamental in creating a range that was both educational and fun.
Rich play experiences for improved longevity of play. As the child grows and develops, they can interact with the range in new ways.
LG Home Automation
In 2016 we began our journey supporting LG Electronics with their automation product lines. This has included home automation systems like the L711HR Lawn Mower Robot, an Airport Robot range that clean, guide and transport and numerous confidential Automotive projects.
“With LG’s advanced robot technology, we will provide innovative customer experiences that make garden management easier and more convenient”

Panasonic Skincare Shaver
For the last 10 years we have been involved with the design and strategy behind the Panasonic shaver range. This included the new Skincare range which focused on creating a shaver more suited to the european market and wellbeing of users.
Over the years we have become more involved in a completely holistic approach that starts with research and strategy and moves all the way into marketing and communication. So as well as designing the products we are creating marketing campaigns which include advertising, social media content, instore visual merchandising, packaging and exhibition spaces.

Joseph Joseph CGI
We teamed up with Joseph Joseph to produce clean, crisp, versatile CGI animations and imagery to support the launch of their new laundry product range.
“V2 Studios have helped us establish a new and engaging way to communicate our products across all our digital platforms and it has been a pleasure working with them.”
“The team clearly understood our vision and their expert knowledge of CGI animation and attention to detail has produced an exceptional range of contemporary animations that beautifully capture the magical movements of the products while clearly communicating the innovation and function.”
Lead Design Manager, Joseph Joseph
We created a streamlined approval process that allowed the team full visibility and feedback of outputs whilst still delivering within tight time schedules.
Our flexible process and in house render farm allows for the output of high quality assets in a range of formats.
Building upon Joseph Joseph’s 3D engineering data, we worked closely with the design and marketing team to ensure we not only accurately matched the materials and finish of the products, but also clearly communicated their innovation and function.
We both work with existing client 3D data or build CAD assets from scratch when required.
The creation of a bespoke material library ensured consistency across the product range.
The assets were created to allow full flexibility across different media platforms. Allowing for maximum engagement across social media, advertising and web.

MealHub
Mealhub, a new model for food delivery. Providing a contactless cloud canteen solution to workplaces through smart food hubs, enabling employees to tap into an affordable healthy range of delicious restaurants at their convenience.
V2 have supported Mealhub from a start-up to a fully operational offering. Work has spanned from strategic visions, to support initial funding, through to the design and manufacture of the smart hubs, including UX and electronic control systems.
Using Mealhub’s smart delivery algorithms, couriers bring lunches from partner restaurants and deliver them to the Hubs in offices and communal spaces. This grouped delivery system means these lunches are good for you, the planet, and your wallet.
The smart batch delivery algorithms allow Mealhub to collect and deliver multiple meals in one trip, reducing the environmental impact vs other delivery models.
FIND A HUB > ORDER > COLLECT
We were tasked with creating an iconic physical symbol for the brand that represented it’s high-quality offering whilst blending into multiple environments.
Various testing scenarios were defined, enabling clear and differentiated proof of concept options to be created. In depth materials testing ensured the development of a solution that optimised food quality, from kitchen to customer.
Operation systems designed and manufactured from the ground up, integrating fully custom electronics, firmware and a customer app (with smart connectivity to allow for modularity and expansion of the units as required).
The units went from 1:1 scale prototypes in our studio to full batch production.
Modularity and cost optimisation was key in the construction to allow for expansion of the units, tailoring each to the space and customer demand.
Seamless integration between the Mealhub app and the food lockers allows for quick, secure and foolproof access to meals.
Mealhub units are installed in many environments across London.
