Plastic with a premium ‘glass-look’

Philips Domestic Appliances, a part of Philips Netherlands, faced a challenge: can you create a product initially designed in glass using plastic, achieving optimal durability, weight, and cost, while developing a high-end consumer product?

Our solution: a design made from PET plastic, as thick-walled as glass. With PET material, it is possible to create highly shock-resistant products at low costs. This technique had never been applied to thick-walled products (like glass) with high aesthetic requirements.

Out of the box solution

Within a month, we developed the first prototypes by innovatively applying an existing production process to prove it was possible. Suitable for mass production, lightweight, and safe for transport.

“We’ve worked with Pezy Group during the development of several solutions, where they have added their value over many years and covering multiple product groups. They are a broad skilled design & engineering team, with excellent capabilities in creative problem solving and mechanical engineering. With their in-house pilot factory for prototypes and tooling they can quickly turn around functional models, but also support small volumes serie production.”
