Thermondo 2022
To support the German government’s goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2045, the Berlin-based company Thermondo decided to develop its own heat pump and thus enable emission-free heating nationwide. Originally started as a service provider, the company faced the challenge of developing its first hardware product.
In search of a reliable product development partner, Thermondo commissioned PONG in 2022 with the design and housing concept of the large and small assembly. The product launch marked an important milestone in the company’s history and served as a vehicle for the relaunch of its corporate identity.

With a lifespan of 20+ years and being directly connected to the respective residential building, the heat pump occupies a prominent place and requires a deliberate bridging between technology and architecture. We therefore chose a timeless and calming design language.
In contrast to the mostly cluttered and technical looking competitor products, we aimed for a monolithic appearance that reflects the friendly and accessible company philosophy through generous curves. A full-surface front cover hides all functional parts while the precisely manufactured perforated grille allows enough air circulation.
