Customizable access gate for Heras

Introduction

Heras is the market leader in outdoor security. At the 2011 International Construction Fair, the company introduced an absolute Rule Breaker: the iGate. The iGate is a cantilever sliding gate, designed in a revolutionary way by our team.

The process

To let the gate fit with the company Heras, the brand identity was closely looked at. This resulted in a couple of key words. Such as reliable, intelligent, stylish, in the lead… Together with complementing images a moodboard was created to give further meaning to these key words.

Now that the brand identity was clear, the next step was to develop the design language for the iGate. In the same way as the brand identity another moodboard was created. Timeless, geometric, approachable, neat and corporate were some of the key words used to define the design language.

The design

The i-Gate is a cantilevered sliding gate, designed in a revolutionary manner by our team. The design is eye-catching with its soft shape and padding that can be personalised.

The i-Gate turns an otherwise common gate into an attractive business card. We have finally created a gate that does not deter a visitor but welcomes him instead ! This can be realised with a message of choice….. design your own gate ! .

Development

The i-Gate was developed within a year by the R&D department of Heras and with guidance from, and in collaboration with, engineers from WeLL Design.
