The products solidified Philips' profile as design-driven organisation, and developed Philips' 'humanware' way of thinking.

The leading designers of the collection were Stefano Marzano, Alessandro Mendini and Alberto Alessi. The colourful Philips HD 2004 drip coffee maker is designed for use with ground coffee.
