Dmitry Strugovshchikov
Designer of Chameleon
Dmitry Strugovshchikov takes Chameleon the whole way: the idea, the form, the device and production.
Idea
Since 2014, a video intercom with a flat face. Stone, wood, leather, metal or carbon becomes the finish, and the device belongs in the room.
Design
Form, material, and how the object sits on a wall. The words he later carried into STRUGA come from here: mass, plane, joint, proportion. The face panels use copper, brass and carbon.
Making it real
Five years: the 3D model, housing, board, microphone, power supplies and software. Tolerances in fractions of a millimetre. The engineering training sits inside the design of the object.
Production
The product reached series production. Chameleon is made and adjusted to order in Russia, so the finish can change for a specific interior.
Before Chameleon, from 2008, Dmitry worked in security-systems equipment: supply, dealer networks, his own trademark. Chameleon is the first product he took from the start all the way through.
