LIFESTYLE TOUCH FOR THE LEGENDARY MEDICAL PRODUCT IN THE US

Medela, the global market leader in breast milk products, wanted a new design for the legendary pump-in-style breast pump that has supported millions of mothers in the U.S. for nearly 25 years.

Working closely with Milani, redesigned the legendary breast pump. The goal was to design a pump which fulfills the unique needs of pumping moms. Featuring hospital-performance, the new compact Pump In Style combines powerful new technology and a modern design and offers more comfort during pumping. In addition, the pump can be used on the go and comes in a stylish bag.

The pump is intuitive to use and easy to clean. With fewer parts and large openings, it is also easier to clean compared to the previous version. The fresh colors and reduced design provide a modern look. In addition, the textile detail gives the medical device a subtle lifestyle touch, both haptically and visually. 

The new design language fits formally into Medela's product line.

Milani accompanied Medela from the initial design concept phase to the implementation and final production of the new breast pump.

Rapid prototyping allowed the breast pump to be effectively visualized and quickly improved.
