History and work edit
Native Design was founded in 1997 by former Manager of Design at Bowers & Wilkins, Morten Villiers Warren. Morten designed the "Emphasis Speakers" on the cover of Art of Noise's Below the Waste album.
After the success of their early work, the company developed a long-standing relationship[2] and collaboration with Bowers & Wilkins, designing earphones[3] the Zeppelin iPod dock and loudspeaker[4] and the PM1 loudspeaker.[5]
Working with the HP Design Team in 2014, Native created the Sprout, a touch screen computer with both vertical and horizontal screens.[6]
In 2015, HP's CEO Meg Whitman called for a unification across HP's GBUs and thus kick-started concept visioning with Native.[7]
In 2015, Native was commissioned to create the new user experience (UX) and homepage for the BBC.[8]
Coloplast employed Native to create the "Design DNA" in 2016, which won a Gold Lion at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.[9][10][11] Subsequently, Forbes named the company as one of the "Top 25 Most Innovative Companies of 2016".[12]
In 2018, Native was honored with the International Design Excellence Gold Award[13] for its work with the Ford Motor Company on the creation of their future car experience known as the Autonomous Vehicle Simulator (AVS). AVS is a demonstration platform.[14]
