Gabor Lengyel
Dipl-Designer, Dipl.-Ing.
Working with Gabor Lengyel creates a clear strategic advantage for companies. His dual qualifications as a mechanical engineer and industrial designer combine technical precision with design excellence, a combination that shortens development cycles, reduces coordination, and speeds up decision-making. This increases efficiency and reduces costs along the value chain.
His methodological foundation in ergonomics, systems thinking, and user research, shaped by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering and his role in management at frog*, part of Capgemini Invent, ensures that technical requirements, manufacturing, and user needs are precisely aligned from the outset.
This results in solutions that are technically robust, ergonomically sound, and economically viable.
Gabor Lengyel masters the complex task of translating construction into clear, brand-strong design language. This skill is rare in design and creates products that visibly and tangibly convey brand quality. For over 25 years, he has been working with international companies such as Deutsche Post DHL, 3M, Haier, PetroChina, Gira, and Berker/Hager. Patent applications underscore his commitment to innovation.
The wide range of his work demonstrates impressive design excellence, interdisciplinary thinking, and the ability to anchor design as a strategic value driver along the entire value chain. For users, this means premium quality; for companies, it means a clear competitive advantage: better products, higher acceptance, and clear differentiation.
It is precisely this combination of innovation, technical precision, and brand-oriented design that makes Gabor Lengyel an effective partner.
Lengyel Design ist a partner of Fraunhofer inHaus Center and the SmartLivingNEXT project.
* As a member of the management team at frog design (now frog, part of Capgemini Invent), Gabor Lengyel played a key role in the design and development of numerous customer projects for companies such as AT&T, Siemens, Texas Instruments, Head, Gazzoni, Jado/Ideal Standard, Fissler, Rosenthal and Villeroy & Boch – including leading roles and responsibility for customer support in key projects.
