ASSA ABLOY Level is re-inventing the standard. Were redefining smart to center around thoughtfulness practicality and the people who make the problem worth solving. We approach product design with a blank slate zero assumptions and an open mind because the way a problem is defined sets the stage for its solution. We couple deep expertise with unbridled curiosity because to us smart means simple intuitive and useful.
We start with empathy take new perspectives and challenge existing standards. People are at the heart of what we do and respecting their style choices and preferences is the first step to uncovering a thoughtful solution that truly improves their daily lives. After all were not just designing products for a house we are designing them for the people who make it a home.
