A & E Design focuses on daily products, It is known for practical dishwashing brushes (for Norwegian Jordan, selling more than sixty million units), queue-ticket dispensers (for Turn-O-Matic), and a folding stool for museums – Stockholm II.
Following the disability rights movement in the 1970s, A&E Design made many designs for disabled people. Hans Ehrich also designed an electric car in the 1960s.
