Tiller Design Community
Driving design thinking to benefit the community is important, creating product solutions that meet the sensitivities of society, cultural diversity, and environmental impact is imperative. Community can mean a local perspective to a global perspective.
Tiller Design strives to create commercially successful products that also consider the holistic impact the product will have in use and at the end of its life. We have a unique opportunity to help educate and set new measures of product acceptance for consumers.
Working with our team, local schools and University students we help spread the need to make products more meaningful and full filling. We give our community help by leveraging our design thinking skills into broader problem solving.
Industrial Designers are able to apply design thinking in amazing ways. When we work on your project the larger issue of community impact, acceptance and desire is being considered.

Enjoy your coffee and paper in the morning?
Tiller Design
Whilst sipping an exceptional espresso from Otto on Australia Day, I turned the page of the Sydney Morning Herald to find an article sharing the excellent design and quality of the Otto with its readers. Later we learnt the good people of Melbourne were enjoying the same experience through a story in the Melbourne Age.
The real story is the engineering and industrial design excellence behind the patented Otto, which has created new ground in home coffee making, and enjoying sales around the world. Read the full Brewing up a business story in the The Sydney Morning Herald.

There Just Isn’t Enough Shrimp.
Tiller Design
Tiller Design have been working very closely with Everdure to redesign a complete range of BBQ’s. This month we see the NEO range of Barbecue’s launched with exceptional success.
There are a couple for things close to all the hearts of our team. One is good food and the other is something to cook it on while sharing a beer. We have had a great time working with everyone at Everdure and enjoyed all the product testing, in fact its such an important element to good design we have decided to test all the BBQ’s at least once a week, if you’re passing the office and can smell something delicious drop in.
Visit the Everdure Barbecues site and click on the NEO range images for a closer look.

Nubian Grey Water Cuts Water Usage By 45%
Tiller Design
Tiller Design worked with Nubian systems through 2006 to create a highly efficient greywater recycling product. Robert Tiller is a happy customer of one of the first units.
In the climate of severe water restrictions Roberts house now recycles up to 65% of its water using one of the Nubian systems. Total water consumption is now lower than a single person dwelling according to Sydney water statistics. Not bad for a three person house with a thirsty vegie patch.

The Evolution Has Started
Tiller Design
Tiller Design and SmartAV have created “The Smart Console™”, the first mixing control surface incorporating patented ARC technology™.
The smart consoles are a new breed that seriously raise the bar of ergonomic efficiency associated with mixing and editing large numbers of channels. ARC Technology uses a physical ARC to present and unify the functions of interrogation and channel selection. Simply touch the strip, the desired channel and the channels surrounding it immediately appear in front of the operator, as though the operator had instantaneously moved in front of those channels on a traditional long console. With this single touch, 800 previously out of reach controls snap to within reach. Even the handwritten channel description is transferred to the strips in front of you.
We have had a strong history in the console industry and have worked feverishly with SmartAV to create the smart console. It is immensely exciting and rewarding to be part of a revolution in this industry.

Coke Launches Tracker Can in USA
Tiller Design
Coke has launched a GSM / GPS phone in the guise of a can across the United States of America. When found and activated the location of the phone is tracked via satellite and prizes are flown in for immediate delivery to the lucky winner.
Who did the global advertising company Momentum Worldwide and Coke turn to for the product design, development and production management of the Phone? Tiller Design.
We are very excited to see the launch of the unexpected summer campaign across the US and it’s fantastic to see the GSM / GPS mobile phone disguised as a can achieving so much press. We had a great time working alongside many talented people. It will be an American summer I’ll never forget!
