Kiwi design & SPONSORED BY SUPPORTED BY ORGANISED BY Christchurch based engineering, analysis, and mechanical design consultancy. Jonathan Prince, director at Caliber Design says, “this is a brilliant example of collaborative product design where in order to compete globally New Zealand businesses have had to innovate and collaborate to make collective gains. The Stabicraft design team supported by experts from complimentary businesses such as Caliber Design brought a fresh perspective, design process thinking, and bespoke use of composites to the recreational boat market.” The result was the development of a new material that simplified the assembly process allowing for increased through-put during later assembly stages on the production line. This stunning example of Kiwi design collaboration led to winning the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2016, one of the most respected design competitions in the world with 5000 entries from 51 nations. The Red Dot is the revered international seal of outstanding design quality. A number of other features will be present including the Ubco 2x2 electric off-road motorbike and the world renowned Shotover Camera, designed and manufactured in Queenstown.
