Research & strategy
Understand the user, environment, opportunity and commercial constraints.
Development output / A defined development brief.
01 / Capabilities
Every discipline.
One development system.
Physical products require connected decisions. We coordinate the research, design and technical capability needed to turn an opportunity into a defined, manufacturable product.
Product design
Translate concepts into functional designs and technical requirements.
Development output / Design intent and production specifications.
Formulation & materials
Select ingredients, fabrics, components and materials for their intended function.
Development output / Material criteria and formulation parameters.
Prototype development
Build, assess and refine controlled prototypes and samples.
Development output / Documented iterations and sample feedback.
Testing & validation
Evaluate performance, quality, stability and manufacturing consistency.
Development output / An evaluation plan and evidence for decisions.
Manufacturing development
Coordinate specialist manufacturers, suppliers and production partners.
Development output / A defined production pathway and quality requirements.
Packaging systems
Develop protection, usability and commercial presentation as one system.
Development output / Packaging specifications integrated with the product.
Commercialisation
Transition validated products into production and their dedicated commercial environment.
Development output / A production and market-transition framework.
Connected by design / Product systems
Develop the relationships around the product.
A formulation affects packaging. A textile affects construction. A manufacturing process affects repeatability. Decisions are considered together so the final product functions as a coherent system.
Specialist capability. Shared ambition.
Build what comes next.
We work with manufacturers, laboratories, material suppliers and selected product founders to develop exceptional physical products.
