About the French Design Award
The French Design Award is a globally recognized authoritative design honor covering multiple industries. Its unique feature lies in adhering to the core principles of "exquisite aesthetics, practical functionality, and cultural resonance" — which is in line with the essence of French design heritage. Unlike traditional design awards, it not only focuses on technical excellence but also values how products effectively enhance users' daily quality of life through the integration of beauty and practicality.
The 2024 jury consists of renowned French designers, ergonomics experts, and consumer technology critics. They have a particular preference for products that excel in user experience innovation, sustainable design principles, and seamless integration with modern lifestyles. These evaluation criteria are highly aligned with SEENDA's 15-year product philosophy of "People-oriented, not parameter-centric", making the MOU-401 the undisputed choice for this award.
Why MOU-401 Won: The Perfect Fusion of Elegance and Practicality
The SEENDA MOU-401 stands out primarily because it successfully blends the iconic elegance of French design with the practicality of ergonomic technology. Unlike most vertical mice on the market that "sacrifice appearance for comfort", the MOU-401 features a smooth curved outline and a matte texture body — embodying the understated luxury of French design — while its 65° vertical tilt guides the hand into a natural neutral posture, effectively reducing wrist and forearm fatigue after prolonged use.
This design precisely caters to SEENDA's core user group: young professionals aged 25-35 who pursue style. They refuse to compromise between "practicality" and "fashion" — whether it's a graphic designer focusing on client projects, a remote worker attending back-to-back video conferences, or a student working at their desk, the MOU-401 not only aligns with their aesthetic preferences but also provides solid support for high-efficiency output.
- Elegant ergonomic shape: 65° vertical tilt reduces wrist and forearm strain, paired with a minimalist outline that perfectly fits modern office scenarios
- Dual-mode wireless connection: Free switching between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, supporting simultaneous connection to 4 devices for flexible adaptation to diverse workflows
- Long-lasting rechargeable design: 45 days of continuous use on a single charge, suitable for professionals and students who move between different scenarios
- Minimalist and non-intrusive design: Soft-touch surface with intuitive button layout — no redundant functions, only pure practicality and style retained
What truly impressed the jury is the "invisible design philosophy" upheld by the MOU-401: it enhances the user experience without deliberately attracting attention. This is in line with the French Design Award's advocacy that "excellent design should be natural, intuitive, and harmonious with daily life".
Design Philosophy: Inspired by Real Users' Life Scenarios
The design of the MOU-401 stems from an 8-month global user research — SEENDA's design team deeply observed how users interact with mice in different scenarios: from minimalist home offices to busy co-working spaces, from long hours of desk work to fragmented operations. Our goal is not only to create a "usable" product but also one that "fits" users' lives both aesthetically and functionally.
The team has always focused on three core dimensions: ergonomic comfort for long-term use, design sense that adapts to diverse office aesthetics, and functionality that supports multi-device switching. This design approach is a concrete embodiment of SEENDA's vision: "Creating meaningful leisure and efficient spaces for young users" — every detail, from the curvature of the grip to the body color, is only to serve users' personalities and needs.
Unlike some brands' design logic of "prioritizing parameters over experience", the MOU-401 has undergone repeated tests for different hand shapes and grip postures to ensure an inclusive comfortable experience. The choice of a matte body stems from the insight into the pain point that "style-conscious users dislike fingerprint residue", while the button layout balances the dual needs of precise operation (such as design editing) and daily browsing.
Voices from SEENDA's Design Team
"The birth of the MOU-401 stems from a simple question: Why can't ergonomic products be aesthetically pleasing?" said SEENDA's Senior Design Manager. "We found that young users often face a dilemma — either choosing bulky but practical ergonomic mice, or stylish ones with insufficient comfort. We hope to create a product that 'satisfies both needs'; it should not just be a tool, but an extension of the user's personal style."
"Winning the French Design Award is a powerful validation of SEENDA's 'Work ≠ Tedium' philosophy. We have always believed that work should not force you to compromise between comfort and style — every tool you use should enhance your experience rather than become a burden. The MOU-401 is a love letter to users who refuse to 'make do': they deserve products that match their ambition and personality."
