FLOW mini and Starter Kit Win iF Design Award
NEWS RELEASE - FLOW has been awarded the 2020 iF DESIGN AWARD!
FLOW finds itself among the esteemed ranks of past winners, which include products from Google, BMW, Samsung, JBL and many others.
What’s more impressive is the fact that FLOW was awarded the distinguished design prize in the Discipline Product category for TWO of its products:
1. FLOW vape starter kit
2. FLOW mini vape pen.
“We are proud to be honored by iF with this prestigious design award,” said Xiaomu Zhu, CEO of FLOW’s parent company.
“There’s nothing else like FLOW on the market today,” said Zhu from his minimalistic office. “It’s clear from the moment you first hold it in your hand, it’s feels like it belongs there. It’s just the right size to hold onto without feeling like it’s a foreign object. It’s puff activated so you just pick it up and go, the responsiveness is unreal. The 15-puff innovative alert is just the cherry on top, don’t worry about over-indulging, because we’ve taken care of that for you.”
Zhu can’t help but gush: “It’s brilliant – a simple idea executed well, a tremendous asset to the vaper who’s trying to quit smoking or the casual vaper who doesn’t want to overindulge. We’ve been able to make this exquisite device because we listen to our customers, so that we can leverage technology and design experience form working with smartphones for over a decade to develop and deliver products which have transform the vaping experience.”
Don’t expect FLOW to be satisfied with its laurels, however, because that’s simply not Zhu’s style, who left a highly lucrative position as the second-in-command at Smartisan, the company that brought us the cult-favorite Acorn smartphone series (which rivals top-of-the-line offerings from the big three of the smartphone industry in both hardware and user experience), to service one of the largest consumer groups in the world: smokers.
FLOW was conceived from the simple desire to transform the lives of this most under-serviced segment of the population.
Why should it smoking be hard in a world where everything is easy?
And the job is far from done, as long as there are still people struggling to light their cigarettes, FLOW will be there.
