Our team of designers and engineers intuitively and analytically generates concepts for the product to be designed. Using visualisation and prototyping techniques, we test, refine and communicate new concepts in an iterative process.
The market and the user are central to us from the very start. From both perspectives, we investigate where the added value lies – because a nice idea doesn’t necessarily mean good product design. We involve all stakeholders in shaping a concept to achieve the best possible result.
With a clear and easy-to-understand interface between the product and the user, life becomes much more pleasant. Whether it involves classic operation with buttons, an app or a screen with a keyboard, our team optimises the interaction.
From the start of a design project, designers, engineers and model and prototype builders work together to find the best functional and technical solution for the product. By exchanging knowledge and experience, they coordinate solutions to create optimally functioning products that are easy for the user to handle.
Prototyping is a vital part of every phase of product development. It allows us to gain insights into the conceptual, aesthetic, and technical-functional aspects of a design.
That’s why we operate a fully equipped workshop, where we create functional models to test working principles, as well as visual models and prototypes that are indistinguishable from the final product in appearance.
We also employ experience prototyping techniques—for example, role-playing, paper prototyping, and interior mock-ups—to simulate real-world interactions and user experiences
Our approach produces successful products and services, often awarded with international design awards. This is why a large number of clients work with us for long periods of time. For us, that is the ultimate token of appreciation.
