We use traditional, new, and innovative research processes to uncover opportunities and strategize in order to find the best way to seize the opportunity. We offer: user definition; user understanding; state of the market analysis; new trends forecasting; technology research; materials and manufacturing research; product strategy; green strategies, and growth planning.
ergonomic studies
Our extensive knowledge of ergonomic principles are put to use in the relentless pursuit of comfort. Our ergonomists and designers can evaluate existing designs and propose ergonomic improvements based on the latest human factors research data. We offer: ergonomic audits; human factor studies; product testing; usability assessment; ergonomic recommendations, and three dimensional ergonomic study models.
design
Beauty and comfort is our goal. We believe that successful designs are the ones that balance both the emotional side—beauty, and the rational side—comfort. This process includes the creation of new proprietary solutions. We offer: conceptual work; form studies; mechanical research; testing; exploration of materials; colors and manufacturing methods; renderings and modeling, and prototyping.
development
A seamless interaction between designers and engineers speeds the development process. Their early cooperation ensures straightforward solutions born from concern for mechanical details, materials applications, and manufacturing processes. Our on-premises prototyping facility enables us to achieve quick, reliable results. We offer: engineering for manufacturing; CAD development; FEA (Finite element analysis); prototyping and testing.
sourcing & manufacturing
From concepts to real products, we ensure that design intent is maintained throughout the production cycle. We can control the process from beginning to end, guiding our network of expert manufacturers domestically and overseas, always advocating for our clients’ best interests. We offer: components sourcing; vendor selection; new vendor evaluation; quality assurance; manufacturing liaison and logistics assistance.
