Quoting Steve Jobs,”Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works”. I’m proud to receive this award for the second time, and it stands to prove our commitment to this category. – says Kenneth Schach, Managing Director, Contour Design Nordic.
We at Contour Design strive to provide the finest in ergonomic solutions for the workplace and at home, and we are very proud of what we do.

The Unimouse leads Contour Design, as well as ergonomic mousing, into the future. The concept of a fully adjustable, ergonomic mouse went through countless iterations before it was considered ready to be presented to our consumers.
