For Fastweb, 21AM designed NeXXt One, the Wi‑Fi 6 router included with Fastweb fixed-line services, addressing a particularly demanding challenge: creating a recognizable product identity, minimizing components and manufacturing complexity, and ensuring compatibility with hardware platforms from three different vendors.
The design is defined by its distinctive front surface, whose geometry creates an iconic “X” that references the NeXXt name while giving the product a strong visual presence. The enclosure was engineered using only two main plastic parts, optimized for simple tooling and efficient production. Working closely with manufacturing partners, the project also explored the use of recycled plastic materials to improve sustainability.
To guarantee consistency across all configurations, 21AM collaborated simultaneously with three hardware vendors, adapting the design to different internal architectures without compromising aesthetics, performance, or manufacturability.
The result is a clean, recognizable, and scalable product that delivers a consistent Fastweb brand experience, regardless of the technology it contains.
