Nest News, September 2024: Award Finalist + Behind the scenes + šŸ‡«šŸ‡·šŸ„

Hey āœŒļø

Welcome to Nest News,Ā our monthly newsletterĀ where we fill you in on the best stuff we've been up to!
Ā 
September has been a busy month, where we've mostly been working behind the scenes to finishĀ our new colorsĀ & the campaign around it.Ā 

We found some amazingĀ  video locations in Denmark that almost look like Grand Canyon or the Arctic. But nature is not the easiest companion on a movie set. We'll show you in the bottom of this newsletter...Ā 

But now it's time for September's Nest News!

What have we been up to in September?


• Practicing our šŸ‡«šŸ‡·šŸ„-skills on one of the world's biggest design conventionsĀ

Our First Exhibition StandĀ šŸ‡«šŸ‡·šŸ„

Maison & Objet, Paris is one of the biggest design conventions in the world.

We had our very first exhibition stand — & got the chance to meet incredibly interesting people from all over the world.

That means Birdies are now leaving our Danish nest to spread their wings in shops across Belgium, Germany, and beyond.
Ā 
Birds truly fly south in winter time 🐄

PS
Does your local design store suffer from NBS (No-Birdie-Syndrom)? Don't hesitate to contact cecillie@birdie.design — she knows the cure ;)

Danish Design Awards šŸ†

The 24th of September was truly a great day in our nest, as we were named finalists for the Danish Design Award!
Ā 
The award celebrates impactful design solutions, and one of their core values is toĀ ā€œsolve problems worth solving.ā€
Ā 
While it’s an honor to be recognized for our design...

It means just as much that such a skilled jury sees the importance of solving the indoor climate problem.

Because Birdie might be cute... But the health consequences of poor indoor air qualityĀ is not.

"What's Birdie doing on a Tech-Summit? "šŸ—

Our founders, Hans & Andreas, were invited to talk at Tech BBQ, Copenhagen — a hot spot in the Scandinavian tech scene.Ā 

But, what are they doing at a tech-summit, isn't Birdie a design product?

That's a very good question.
Ā 
As we like to put it: Birdie is smooth on the outside & smart on the inside.
Ā 
Actually, we've teamed up with a swiss pioneer in sensor technology,Ā Sensirion. Perfecting their craft since 1998.
Ā 
And that's something we're really proud of: Combining intelligent tech & intuitive design, to solve a serious problem in a "simple" way.

Behind The Scenes: New Colors šŸŽžļø

As we said in the beginning, we've been busy wrapping up the campaign for our new colors.

Glacier, Meadow & Dune. That's the names of the new colors - inspired by the outdoors.

We wanted the campaign to express feeling of fresh air. And how it ultimately flows from nature.

So it was very important that we found just the right outdoor locations.
Ā 
It might sound simple, but the ocean doesn’t care about your expensive camera gear — and the wind doesn’t show up when you need it to erase human footprints all over a giant dune.
Ā 
It worked in the end. And we're quite proud of how it turned out!

We're proud of the final result above. Check out some behind the scenes photosĀ belowšŸ‘‡

That's it for today!

What a great month!

We'd love to hear any fun ideas from you — whether it's for campaigns, products or something else.

Let us know — here's our contact information! āœŒļø

'Till next time !

Cheers,
Team Birdie🐤
