01
Concept exploration
Explore alternative directions through sketches, layouts and visual studies. Compare ideas against the requirements before selecting a direction to develop.
Product + Industrial Design
We design products that just work.
Bring form, function and the user experience together. We develop product concepts with a clear design intent and a considered route towards engineering and manufacture.
Designed around people. Resolved in detail.
How a product is held, opened, cleaned, assembled and understood matters as much as its appearance. We explore these interactions alongside proportions, materials and construction so that the design answers the brief as a whole.
How we can help
Support for the work ahead.
02
Form, usability and product architecture
Consider ergonomics, controls, interfaces and the arrangement of components. Use 3D models and, where scoped, physical studies to evaluate the design.
03
Materials, finishes and visualisation
Explore material and finish choices in relation to appearance, handling and manufacture. Communicate the proposed product through considered views and presentation material.
Deliverables
Clear outputs. Agreed scope.
Depending on your project, the agreed work may include:
- Concept directions and a recorded design rationale
- Developed 3D design models at the agreed level of detail
- Proposed materials, colours and finishes
- Visualisations and a design handover for the next stage
Deliverables, responsibilities, timing and fees are confirmed in the proposal or quotation.
The process
How we move forward.
- Review the brief, users and intended product experience.
- Explore and compare concepts before selecting a direction.
- Refine the design and prepare the agreed handover.
Before we begin
What to bring.
Share the brief, reference products, brand guidance and any known size or component constraints. Tell us about the people who will use the product and the situations it needs to work in.
A few useful answers.
Is a concept rendering ready for manufacture?
A rendering communicates design intent. Detailed engineering, material selection, tolerances and validation may still be needed before production information can be released.
Can you work with our engineering team?
Yes. Responsibilities, file formats and review points can be agreed so the industrial design fits into your existing development programme.
