A NEW WORLD OF INNOVATION OPENS UP

 

May 22 2014,  San Diego, California.  ROGOV Design, San Diego’s design innovation firm has announced the launch of its new website. The site reflects the input of ROGOV Design, along with clients from San Diego and internationally. Marking three decades of helping technology companies turn ideas into new product experiences, the site is a quick and easy overview for visitors to understand and learn ROGOV Design’s co-innovation expectations.

 ‘A new world of innovation opens up’ beams the headline on ROGOV’s ‘About’ page — ‘A world where a product is not a faceless utility, but the basis of a lifestyle. A world where brands and products are seen as accessories for lifestyles and the tools for getting there.’

 “We built the new site with a mind towards giving inventors, investors and technology entrepreneurs confidence and assurance that they are making the right decisions,” says founder Vladymir Rogov. “As a leading area for healthcare, biotech, defense, electronics and clean tech businesses, we are excited to deepen our commitment to San Diego’s technology entrepreneurs as a way to scale the impact of innovation from our community.”

  Since the attraction of ROGOV Design to San Diego in 1984, Forbes Magazine this year recognized San Diego as "The #1 Place To Launch A Startup." Small enterprises have ranked in the top five on nearly every category to lift San Diego into the top slot. And, according to a new survey issued by the American Planning Association, San Diego is the top choice to relocate.

 Making Local Business Look Good
"Rogov and San Diego’s business community have evolved together, and it’s been a mutually beneficial relationship. The design innovation firm helped the region’s biotech industry in its infancy," writes Brad Graves, technology reporter with San Diego Business Journal. Marking a 3 decade milestone, the firm continues to turn heads. The Journal has nominated ROGOV Design as a finalist for its 2014 Innovation Award.

 The predominant website color - emerald green, reflects ROGOV’s philosophy and the current human centered societal mood. But, there’s more to it than just cool looks and concise navigation; the footer offers visitors a simple contact form for co-innovation inquiries.

ROGOV Design also reflects clear definitions between experience management, research, marketing and engineering as distinct co-innovation disciplines. Helping technology teams synthesize big data, markets and business, and future-cast critical implications of human interaction. As for the results, see for yourself…

 Void of long case histories, the site provides at-a-glance work samples, testimonials and a simple contact form for co-innovation inquiries. No long-winded descriptives, no deep multilayered navigation menus, no pontificating, no sales push or artsy talk, just the facts that say, “these guys are the real thing.”  Technology companies can seriously impact lifestyle enhancing possibilities and cast themselves as shapers of a better world, be they healthcare, defense, communications or home appliance marketers.

 “As startup communities kick off in full force, we offer the opportunity to give both budding and serial entrepreneurs a way of applying their technology as a vehicle for improving lives. People are attracted to a better life. It did not take rocket science to bring the Rogov’s to San Diego back in 84, just a feeling that something was in the air. This feeling still remains, designing great products and brands is the best form of giving back or paying forward,” says Rogov.

THE CALIFORNIAN reveals a glimpse of the artist behind the industrial designs of ROGOV

SAN DIEGO, California January 27, 2014.  ROGOV DESIGN announces a candid interview with THE CALIFORNIAN - revealing a glimpse of the artist behind the industrial designs of ROGOV.

They are artists in every sense of the word. Industrial designers use all aspects of artistic creativity, to create an experience as their medium and products their canvass.

With parents from Russia, born in Germany, studying art and engineering in England, and working in the design industry in Europe and Canada, Vladymir Rogov brought his award winning expertise to America in 1984.

His design work can be seen in the palm of your hand, in biotech machines, clean-tech or military combat ready electronics. Over the years, his award winning designs include work with Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Yamaha, Samsung and Casio.

Design, like music, is a currency. How often do you listen to a song and say, this is how I feel!  It’s the same with products, they speak for us.

Technology used to attract us through tech-specs and features. Today it has to enable a better experience. “These things represent deep emotions and aspirations - people expect a better experience with the products they use."

About ROGOV Design

With an international career spanning over 40 years, Vladymir Rogov is one of the most prolific industrial designers of his generation. His conviction that art and design shapes our lives resonates across the map, with designs for brands such as: Aston Martin, GM, Boeing, Casio, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, Yamaha and Kodak.

LOCAL DESIGN WITH A GLOBAL REACH

ROGOV Design, Inc. (San Diego, CA) January 10, 2014. ROGOV Design announces the release of “Just Business”, a candid interview with Vladymir Rogov and his hometown paper, La Mesa Courier.

After living in Germany, England and Canada, Vladymir chose San Diego for his design lab back in 1984.  The undeveloped, blank canvas character of the region, appealed to his innovative spirit. “If there’s something that you want that’s not already here, you can be the first to bring it.”

This award winning industrial designer has attracted global companies ranging from Hewlett-Packard to Aston Martin to Casio. Much of the company’s work is also directly related to the military, biotechnology and clean tech industries which began to dominate the regional economic landscape alongside ROGOV Design.

Products he designed a quarter century ago are still top sellers around the world, such as the MICROTOX, an instrument that screens the quality of drinking water, has become an industry gold standard.

“The role of design has changed a lot over the years,” he said.  “Business leaders are realizing that companies are not just a name, but a whole experience. Their products are accessories to a lifestyle and the tools for getting there. We buy things because they enhance our lifestyle.”

One of Rogov’s latest clean tech industrial designs is a smart electrical outlet that glows in varying colors based on how much energy it uses. The WeMonitor outlet is designed to help people manage their energy use—before they receive that surprising monthly bill. “That’s taking the value of technology to a higher level,” says Rogov.

Bringing a global-local reach to the San Diego region, this design magnet does not feel the need to be in a cosmopolitan center to serve a global population. After all, in the age of the Internet, you can be a hero from any desired location. I can stroll through La Mesa Village on a sunny winter’s day with a light sweater after a Skype conference with clients or my team.

When it comes to product design, with such overwhelming choice and competition, a good user experience is the product. “Experience really is everything, and that’s what I do,” Rogov said.  “That’s why I can live in La Mesa.”

MAKING LOCAL BUSINESS LOOK GOOD

SAN DIEGO, California November 14, 2013.  ROGOV DESIGN announces San Diego Business Journal’s (SDBJ) INNOVATION feature --- a look at innovative organizations, concepts, products and people.

“Rogov and San Diego’s business community have evolved together, and it’s been a mutually beneficial relationship,” writes Brad Graves, SDBJ technology reporter.

Vladymir Rogov, the San Diego based industrial designer has been connecting with his market for over 3 decades. He helped transform the region’s biotech industry during its infancy. During the early years of Gen-Probe, Rogov’s branding integration for the biotech company conveyed a clean, high-tech look and a feeling of precision. Investors apparently liked it. In 1987, Gen-Probe raised $16.2 million in its initial public offering.

For a Carlsbad-based company, he redesigned the look and operation of MICROTOX, an instrument that measures water toxicity. British-based Modern Water PLC eventually bought the business and retains Rogov’s design a quarter century later.

Rogov has helped many notable San Diego businesses transform into success stories – Hewlett-Packard, Pyxis, WAVETEK, Z Microsystems. . . Rogov’s latest design for weMonitor Inc., turns the humble electric plug socket into an energy monitoring tool for the fast-emerging market of home-energy management. Virginia-based Dominion Investment Group put $5.3 million into weMonitor. Executive Robert Poor said the company is speaking with a large organization, regarding distribution.

ROGOV DESIGN COMPLETES HOME ENERGY MONITOR DESIGN OF THE FUTURE

SAN DIEGO, California July 22, 2013 Rogov announces completion of the home energy, management system interface design for weMonitor Inc. As a result, American homeowners can expect more intuitive and "smarter" energy saving systems. Consumer research reports by 2020, some 60 percent of homes in the US will have some type of energy management. Smart energy management systems are a new wave of products and services that allow consumers to take charge of their energy consumption in a responsive and proactive way.

At first glance the Rogov design brings a clean high-tech facelift to the 100 year-old AC wall power outlet. The original grounded consumer plug has several claimants to its invention. The earliest patent application appears to be in 1915 by George P. Knapp, on behalf of the Harvey Hubbell Company. Rogov's design solution takes energy to a whole new level. Besides giving two additional USB power feeds for charging phones, tablets and any other USB pluggable electronics, the exciting part is revealed by a color illuminated ring around the perimeter, who's glow continuously shows the homeowner any change in status and energy use. The light changes from a subtle blue to purple, or any color the user desires to suit their color palette. When energy consumption exceeds a set threshold it prompts real-time, proactive response via a mobile phone or tablet, rather than after-the-fact monthly energy billing statements.

Under the hood, the wireless smarts discreetly communicate between the home's energy monitoring network and on-line dashboard. From this pass-word-protected dashboard, the home owner has effortless control over heating, air conditioning, refrigeration and potentially all energy consuming appliances, with just a click. In addition, the dashboard offers energy conservation prompts, tips, reminders for maintenance, and a list of certified energy service providers for scheduled or emergency response.

"We live in an emotional world. So many gadgets thrown on the world-stage respond to transient fads - here today, gone tomorrow," says Vladymir Rogov. "The future belongs to bold and knowledgeable companies whose brands and products are seen as accessories for lifestyles and the tools for getting there." weMonitor Inc. recently secured $5.3M in funding and was also named among the top ten "new companies to watch" by Entrepreneur magazine.

ROGOV DESIGN ANNOUNCES THE “AUTHORITY BRAND” DIFFERENCE

Marrying Art and Technology Results in a Winning Combination

San Diego (July 2, 2013) - What do mission-ready computing technology for the U.S. military; Microtox®, an international “gold standard” toxicity testing instrument; and Desk Architecture, a collection of human interaction artifacts created with social rituals in mind, have in common? International industrial designer Vladymir Rogov, founder of Rogov Design, designed all of them, using his unique ability to apply art to industry with the aim of creating user experiences that transcend “form follows function.”

Rogov focuses on building authority brands that have influence and power, and his design resume is eclectic, including kids’ musical instruments, luxury vehicles, medical instrumentation, rugged military equipment, and exotic housewares. Today, he’s excited about the shift that’s happening in technology, in everything from computers, smartphones, and tablets to refrigerators and test instrumentation.

“The exciting next step for product marketing is design,” Rogov says. “We have enough technology to do anything; MHz are out and ease of use is in. Design can raise the user experience from good to great. Blatant technology repels non-technical people, and should operate discreetly under the hood.”

Rogov will celebrate 30 years in San Diego next year. His long-term success motivates him to maintain his focus on seamlessly orchestrating art with industry, creating unique sensory experiences for products, brands and their customers.

The other side of Rogov, a quintessential renaissance man, is the world of music; he’s a recording musician who composes original music in response to things that inspire him. His design secret may be using his experimentation with sonics and design to transform human interaction.

“Art is in the details,” he says, and his collaboration always results in well-designed products that are easy to use and long lasting, for environments as disparate as reconnaissance missions, scientific labs, automotive and homes.

About Rogov Design

Vladymir Rogov is one of the most prolific designers of his generation. With a career spanning over 40 years, he’s already celebrated a huge amount of success, including awards and thousands of designs sold on a global basis. Rogov’s belief that art and design shape our daily lives and futures is at the heart of his work. He represents a strong design ethos and has designed for brands across an eclectic sector, including Aston Martin, Boeing, Casio, Chrysler, Coleman, Conran & Habitat Shops, Fiat, Ford, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Rank Xerox, Marks & Spencer’s, Samsung and Yamaha.

ROGOV'S DESK ARCHITECTURE RIGHT AT HOME IN HOLLYWOOD FILM

SAN DIEGO, April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The recently released Hollywood film "Trespass" starring Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman gave the public a glimpse of a chic new approach to collectible art, known as Desk Architecture.

The brainchild of leading design expert Vladymir Rogov, the exotic Desk Architecture collection focuses on everyday functional objects in social rituals and human interactions.

During the film's pre-production phase, Rogov was contacted regarding the possibility of featuring an all-silver collection in select scenes of the film. The selections included a Letter Tray, Letter Holder and Opener, two Ashtrays, two Clocks and a Picture Frame.

The highly distinctive works of art impressed several interior designers who saw the movie, then subsequently traced them to Rogov and ordered several for their clients' homes.

"I was very pleased when I got their calls," Rogov stated, "because it validated the producer's decision to include the pieces in the film, while giving collectors wider exposure to unique designs."

Designed for an exclusive niche of collectors, Rogov's Desk Architecture offers discrimination and differentiation. Desk Architecture is heirloom quality and will last for generations. The line is manufactured in Southern California in limited editions, and is available in black nickel, silver or 24-karat gold clad. Each piece ships with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Products can be viewed online at www.deskarchitecture.com.

Rogov is regarded as a master at developing distinctive impressions for a wide range of everyday items -- from musical instruments for kids and luxury vehicles for grown-ups to medical instrumentation for healthcare providers, to rugged military equipment and exotic housewares.

He has designed for such mega-brands as Chrysler, Fiat, Ford, and Rank Xerox; sleek home products such as glassware for Cascade; lighting for Compagnie des Lampes, France; and home products for Marks & Spencer, Habitat and Conran stores.

Rogov's design expertise has also been applied to coolers for Coleman; luxurious bathroom systems for Boeing; exotic seating for Aston Martin; self-serve gas stations for Exxon; printers for Hewlett-Packard; motion capture cameras for Kodak; point-of-purchase displays for Yamaha; TVs for Samsung; and clocks and musical instruments for Casio.

Rogov's designs have led to five U.S. patents and numerous international awards, including two "International Design Excellence Awards" (IDEA) from the Industrial Designers Society of America.

ROGOV’S ‘DESK ARCHITECTURE’ GOES TO THE MOVIES

SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2011 — ROGOV Design announced that “Desk Architecture,” the exquisite collection of desk and personal space accessories from Vladymir Rogov, will be featured in Joel Schumacher’s thriller “Trespass.”

Desk Architecture is an exquisite collection of desk and personal space accessories, designed to elevate function to fine art with a complementary palette of modernism, art and design. Launched to coincide with the 2010 Palm Springs Modernism Week, the collection brings desk and personal space accessories to another level.

“The production company asked if we would consider loaning a complete silver collection of Desk Architecture for their use during production,” states Vladymir Rogov. “They expressed how perfectly it would fit in the many scenes.” Accompanying their request was a “one sheet,” listing an A+ cast and production group, along with a gripping script.

Cast:

Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole / Moulin Rouge! / The Others / Eyes Wide Shut)
Nicolas Cage (Drive Angry / Adaptation / Lord of War / Leaving Las Vegas)

Director:
Joel Schmacher (Twelve / Phantom of the Opera / Batman / A Time to Kill)
Screenplay by: Karl Gajdusek and Eli Richbourg

Producers:
Irwin Winkler (Goodfellas / Rocky / The Net)
Avi Lerner (The Expendables / Brooklyn’s Finest
John Thompson (Rambo / The Bad Lieutenant)
Rene Besson (Imaginary Heroes / Boxes / The Bad Lieutenant)

The cache of Academy Award-winning talent was matched by the suspense and action in the script. One of the most striking elements in the script was the big modern house of glass, stone and steel – simple and elegant, award-winning. The modern, sleek house was a good setting to show “Desk Architecture,” particularly in the desk scenes in the office of Nicolas Cage.

Industrial Designer Vladymir Rogov is a master at taking ordinary objects beyond the functional. “I’m pleased the production groups were looking for something beyond the standard, off-the-shelf items and towards products that enhance and invigorate the sets for actors to work their magic. We were also delighted to work with such an exceptional team.” Productions Branded represented “Trespass” from Nu Image/Millennium Films for placement and integration. And, The Ross Group represented ROGOV “Desk Architecture” during the production.

An exclusive eight-piece silver collection was shipped to Shreveport, La. in specially designed shock-insulated crates, including silver polish and accessories for production “touch-ups,” along with simple instructions to minimize “unpacking/re-packing” time and labor on the “Trespass” set.

1 Letter Tray
1 Letter Holder & Opener
2 Ashtrays
2 Clocks
1 Picture Frame

Desk Architecture is manufactured in limited editions, exclusively in southern California.

“We also expedited the design and production of the picture frame — special for co-star Nicole Kidman. She always comes across as a lady with class and style. Following a month of intensive work, the day after we shipped the collection, news surfaced that Nicolas Cage had quit the set. We laughed and figured that it all just added to the thrill of the thriller,” Rogov recalls with a smile.

ROGOV’S PRESENTATION ‘PARALLEL UNIVERSE’ REVEALS DESIGN STYLES
— HOW ALL THAT WAS STILL IS

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 16, 2010 — 2011 Palm Springs Modernism Week — Internationally acclaimed designer Vladymir Rogov is set to present “Parallel Universe,” a design lecture on a world where all design genres coexist. The 2011 Palm Springs Modernism Week (http://www.modernismweek.com/), scheduled for Feb. 17-27, promotes public awareness of the desert’s mid-century modern design and architecture. The event’s educational and charitable activities celebrate the postwar design aesthetic and culture.

Parallel Universe

Internationally acclaimed designer Vladymir Rogov will present his design lecture about a world where all design styles coexist and flourish in parallel: Contemporary, Post-Modern, Modernism, Art Deco, Colonial, Victorian, Gothic, Baroque, Medieval, Ancient, et al. Whatever form your personal experience and expression is, you are not alone; there is a global community of like connoisseurs flourishing in every genre. Rogov compares design genre to music formats: Heavy Metal, Rock, Country, Rap, New Age, Classical, etc. Like music tastes, some immerse exclusively in one format; others savor a broad palate. Aficionados revel in original, authentic or its “latest” manifestation. Our choices reflect personal experience and expression. The world is for us to set our stage, a backdrop around which to perform our lives. Never in the history of civilization have so many options been available. Rogov reveals our lives in a parallel universe where all that was still is, and all is still evolving.

ROGOV DESIGN’S BREAKTHROUGH LCD DISPLAYS GIVE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM OPERATORS BETTER EYES IN THE SKY

SAN DIEGO, June 15, 2010 — Forging a better connection between human and machine has long been the inspiration for internationally acclaimed industrial designer Vladymir Rogov. With his latest success, he faced the challenge of improving the interface between Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), one of the military’s most strategic tools, and the human pilots that translate their captured data. Rogov’s breakthrough LCD display system forever changes the way human hands interact with these critical aircraft.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems have myriad military applications, but they are increasingly used in the civilian world in areas from firefighting to surveillance of offshore pipeline operations. Rogov knew that despite its many high-tech applications, a UAS is only as good as its human pilot and camera operator. Maximizing their eyes in the sky was Rogov’s charge.

His resulting LCD display design creates a more seamless relationship between a leading Ground Control Station (GCS) and its Unmanned Aircraft Systems. “The purpose of an unmanned system is to allow a human being to project their senses and their ability to affect things into the battle-space,” stated Mark Bigham, director of business development for GCS supplier Raytheon, in an industry magazine. “The operator interface is a critical element, and its next big area of improvement.”

From their terra firma homebase, pilots look at their world through an array of LCD displays that curve around them, displaying maps, terrain, navigation and inter-communication. The UAS flies in relays, with a new person taking the helm every few hours while the UAS remains in mid-flight. Rogov’s revolutionary LCD display system allows the next person to adjust the LCD array to optimize personal settings, ramping up both personal comfort level and technical efficiency.

The GCS’ vision systems, a new fully articulating, user-adjustable LCD display array system, meets MIL-STD 1472F human factors guidelines and accommodates the 5th to 95th percentile of male and female flyers to provide an expansive window on the action.

Z Microsystems was selected to deliver these display panels by an undisclosed UAS manufacturer. The company successfully completed its first shipment on the subcontract supporting a UAS program. “This contract validates that our technology is meeting the need for higher fidelity visualization in UAS surveillance,” said Jack Wade, Z Microsystems’ chief executive officer.

Rogov added, “As pilots and sensors begin to increase the number of unmanned systems they operate at once, the future points to a new breed of control stations, particularly in performing peace-time functions. The military has always been an early adopter of cutting-edge technology. However, the quality of technical savvy is measured by the fact that it becomes less visible as it is integrated as a human-machine user interface.

“We’ve done it with cars,” continued Rogov, whose designs have hit the road in Fords, Fiats and Aston Martins. “This LCD system brings some of the experience of sitting in the ultimate flying machine to UAS flyers.

“This was indeed a worthy project for the right-brain skills of an industrial designer. We have solved bigger problems involving people who are much less interested about their work than these conscientious UAS flyers.”

ROGOV DESIGN’S NEW DESK ARCHITECTURE ELEVATES FUNCTION TO FINE ART

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 10, 2010 — 2010 Palm Springs Modernism Week — ROGOV Design (http://www.rogov.com) announces Desk Architecture, a new product line launched to coincide with the 2010 Palm Springs Modernism Week (http://www.modernismweek.com/), of which ROGOV Design is a Silver Sponsor. Scheduled for Feb. 12-21, Modernism Week promotes public awareness of the desert’s mid-century modern design and architecture. The event’s educational and charitable activities celebrate the postwar design aesthetic and culture.

Internationally acclaimed industrial designer Vladymir Rogov is the visionary behind ROGOV’s Desk Architecture. “My new line offers an exciting new take on previously mundane products, resulting in fine art items that are not only functional, but have outstanding architectural elements,” he explained. “My goal is to bring distinction to the most discerning collector’s workspace with a complementary palette of modernism, art and design.”

ROGOV’s Desk Architecture includes clocks, ashtrays, letter openers and letter trays. Manufactured in polished black nickel, silver or 24-karat gold plate, each piece ships in a white- lacquered gift-box, along with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. ROGOV creations appeal to connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate finely crafted objects that are in a class of their own.

“Although these objects often dwell together in the real world, Desk Architecture brings these items together in a cohesive, premium collection for the first time,” said Rogov. “The collection is designed as an integrated and elegant statement, instead of ad hoc individual pieces.”

Rogov explains the concept behind his brand: “The ROGOV mark stands for individualism with old-world values like craftsmanship, quality and sustainability. History shows that finely crafted objects never go out of style and are treasured for generations. A ROGOV object helps inspire change, personal excellence and progress. I wanted to create a visual statement that enhances a personal workspace but also continues to provide aesthetic inspiration year after year.”

Rogov holds five U.S. patents, and his designs have been the recipient of prestigious awards. In 1983, he won the Design Canada Excellence Award. He also has received two International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) from the Industrial Designers Society of America.

ROGOV Desk Architecture is available in limited edition at http://www.rogov.com/ and select luxury stores in southern California.
