There Are a Million and One Opportunities for Us to Take

A home is such a small, easily definable concept that most people forget just how expansive and varied it is until they need to buy something for it. Cleaning, washing, cooking, refrigerating, storage, lighting, eating, maintenance, leisure — there are endless categories of home and kitchen appliances with endless products within them. It’s a competitive space, but also one rife with opportunities.

Maybe you have an idea that’ll define your industry by perfecting what your competitors couldn’t, or maybe your idea will disrupt your category altogether. Either way, our home and kitchen prototyping services will help you achieve your goals. Here are just a few.

  • Project management | Think of us as full partners. We’ll oversee the entire design and prototyping process, devoting our full attention to your success.
  • Ergonomic design | Balancing functionality, comfort and aesthetics is the prime goal of any designer, and it’s our favourite part of the job.
  • CAD-CAM manufacturing | There are countless ways to realise a design. We specialise in several processes, and our engineers will ensure manufacturability.

What Makes a House a Home?

The same thing that turns a mere product into a must-have. Everyone has that one appliance in their house that they absolutely swear by — that they recommend to all their friends and pass down to their kids. That’s what good design does.

It doesn’t matter whether you task us to design a smart lighting system or a blender; our goal is always the same: to make your product feel like an inseparable part of everyday life.

Our Design Process

True innovation is always a matter of details, which is why our standard process is as broad and straightforward as it gets. It gives us plenty of room to adapt and refine our practices for each project to ensure we never repeat ourselves. It seems counterintuitive, but it keeps us agile.

Timeframe:

From first concept to final product? Let’s call it 6 months. But the truth is that it will always depend on the scope of your specific project.

Benefits:

  • High-quality, functional prototypes
  • Customised designs that cater to your market’s specific needs
  • Expert guidance and support throughout the process

Ideal if you:

  • You need innovative designs in a competitive market
  • You require a reliable, focused and long-term partner
  • You need end-to-end services

1

Research

First, detective work. We gather all the details about what consumers want, what the market looks like and what the latest design trends are so we can cook up something truly special.

2

Design

We get creative and sketch out some blue-sky ideas. This is where our designers turn back-of-the-envelope sketches into detailed designs, making sure every appliance looks sleek and works like a charm.

3

Prototyping

Now, it’s time to bring those designs to life. We build working prototypes that can undergo mechanical and material testing and be handled by focus groups to gather invaluable qualitative feedback.

4

Refining

Based on our real-world tests and user feedback, we tweak, tinker, and perfect the prototype until it’s practically perfect in every way.

5

Launch

We prepare everything for the big debut, from finalising the design to developing scalable manufacturing plans so your new appliance can hit the market and make life easier.
