Power Tools

BLACK+DECKER Reviva Power tools Range

The focus of the BLACK+DECKER reviva range is on the environmental aspect. Seeking to create colours, textures and clear forms, as well as optimise the ergonomics and maintain a focus on the environmental impact, the design and manufacturing processes were updated to utilise environmentally-friendly plastics and reduce the consumption of materials. The question of how components can be returned to the material cycle was also taken into account. Thus, both the ideas of solder joints, which are difficult to disassemble at end of life, and elastomer over-moulds, typically found on power tools, were abandoned.

Statement by the Jury

The development of the reviva power tools placed focus on environmental responsibility – a task that was approached and solved in the design with great creative effort and well thought-out strategies.
