We are thrilled to announce that Tactile has been awarded three prestigious 2025 Good Design Awards for our work with established partners ecobee and Sparx Hockey. These accolades from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design celebrate the most innovative and cutting-edge industrial, product, and graphic designs produced around the world. Our ongoing collaboration with ecobee continues to set the standard for the smart home, and we are proud to see two products recognized this year: Smart Thermostat Essential and Smart Doorbell Camera. Our ongoing collaboration with ecobee continues to set the standard for the smart home with two recognized products this year. The ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential brings signature, human-centered design to a more accessible price point, ensuring energy-saving technology is within reach for every home through intuitive control and easy installation. Alongside it, the ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera was designed to see what others can’t, featuring an industry-leading 175-degree vertical field of view. Its sleek, weatherproof form factor integrates radar-sensing technology and “sensor fusion” to deliver crystal-clear vision day or night, providing homeowners with true peace of mind.

We are also celebrating a win for the Sparx BEAM, a revolutionary addition to the Sparx Hockey sharpening ecosystem. The BEAM (Blade Edge Accuracy Measurement) device uses state-of-the-art laser technology to measure skate blade edges to 1/10,000th of an inch. Our design team worked to create a handheld form that feels like a unified part of the Sparx toolset, turning complex measurement capabilities into an intuitive experience for elite and everyday skaters alike. These awards are a testament to the vision and trust of our partners. A huge congratulations to the teams at ecobee and Sparx Hockey! We are honored to help bring these industry-defining products to life. Check out the full list of winners at the Good Design Awards website.
