Bionic Motion

The history of the Coblenz company Bionic Motion is closely connected to the name Robert Spillner. Before he founded Bionic Motion in the year 2002 he was a development engineer for the automobile industry and development partner of the F1 team along many years. He coined numerous trade mark rights and today he is the managing director of Bionic Motion.

Parallel to his work at the automobile industry Robert Spillner began to be interested in bionic that later on became the basis of Bionic Motion. Bionic describes what technical uses nature principles of biology can have.

Robert Spillner researched on this area, moved by the German professor Werner Nachtigall. He explained a problem to Spillner that already namely German companies couldn’t solve. Already then the aerodynamics of the bird flight was the reason. ”Ambition and passion moved me then to find a solution”, is what Spillner says.

The change from the Formel 1 to i:wing-flap – from loud to quite, from extremely fast to calmingly slow – absolutely builds continuity to the Bionic Motion-founder: his driving forces are the search for efficient, still unsolved solutions.

In cooperation with Phoenix Design from Stuttgart, a renowned office for integrated product design, Bionic Motion designed the i:wing. A product that couldn’t be assigned to any category until now: it isn’t a ventilator or a sculpture. Not biology or technique. Not function or pure design. It responds to human senses that want a piece of nature in their houses and apartments.

But Spillners vision furthermore reaches up to more: together with his team he already works at a method to move the i:wing wings, that are moved with electricity today, with their own created energy in a future – while moving their wings.
