Blender Design

🧩 One small clip. One giant leap for barefoot comfort.
Traditional carpet rivets in marine environments? Hot, rust-prone, and a pain to replace. Fastmount knew there had to be a better way.

So we helped them design one.

The Fastmount Carpet Clip offers a smarter, safer way to secure heavy-duty carpets on boats, platforms and campervans, strong enough to handle the rough stuff, easy enough to remove for seasonal swaps.

✔️ Safer for bare feet
✔️ Patented screw-in design
✔️ Handles high-shear forces
✔️ Simplifies cleaning and replacement

The result? A small innovation that makes a big difference in performance and user experience.

Futura Trailers build high-end transport solutions for car enthusiasts who expect the best, and their trailers already looked the part.

But the control system? That needed to catch up.

Blender worked with the Futura team to rethink the touchpoints, designing a refined remote and control box that matched the premium promise of the brand.

The result:
✔ A seamless, tactile remote with intuitive design cues
✔ A clean, professional winch box interface
✔ Stronger user experience and elevated brand perception

As Futura’s founder put it:
“It’s strengthened customer perception, enhanced confidence in sales conversations, and reinforced that every detail of our trailers lives up to the premium positioning of the brand.”

What if your toothbrush could help cut tonnes of plastic waste every year?
Fongky’s clever replaceable-head design means you keep the same handle for years, just swapping out the bristles when they wear out. That’s 85% less plastic in landfill – without changing your brushing routine.
We worked with founder Gavin Fong to turn this idea into a durable, fully recyclable system that’s easy to use and affordable.

What if cutting methane from cattle was as simple as swallowing a bolus? Ruminant Biotech’s bolus just won the 2025 Fieldays Prototype Innovation Award. This clever product is already reducing methane by up to 70% in trials, without changing how farmers feed their herds.

But the real breakthrough? It’s verifiable, traceable, and opens the door to on-farm incentives, green finance and low-carbon supply chains.

Blender is proud to support the Prototype Award and is excited by the opportunity to work with the team to help scale this smart solution. Read how it works and why this could be a game changer for agriculture:

A Gutsy Innovation Meet the winner of the 2025 Fieldays Prototype Innovation Award. Ruminant Biotech’s methane-reducing bolus offers a new way to tackle agricultural emissions, and Blender is excited to help take it further.
