Dedicated to Design Excellence

In 2010, the Schneider Electric Design and Ergonomics team consisted of four designers in Grenoble, France. Today there are 30 of us, with offices located across the five continents. We aim to craft design materials that are globally distinctive, modern, yet culturally accurate for consumers across the globe.

Consequently, our engagement and partnering with interior designers in over 400 projects across all business units have resulted in a significant evolution of the Schneider Electric brand and product portfolio.
