Consultancy x Lab

Outline the scope and intentions of the project, working closely with the client as well as investigating the user base and product environment. Developing an understanding of the process, scale and plausible outcomes. This step allows us to truly understand what we will be designing to solve and gives the whole process a purpose.

Outcome: Develop a brief.
‍

Ideation, exploration of different directions, sketch ideas of plausible routes to respond to the brief developed, research and feasibility studies informing the concept creation process.
‍
Outcome: Select a path / concept direction.

‍

Develop the specified direction(s) from the concepting stage into practical mock-ups to test. A prototype and testing heavy stage, both on concept function, use and process; materials, production methods, deconstruction, end-of-life schemes and more. Working to create the basis of the final design.

Outcome: Tested and developed design.
‍

Finalise the design from the previous stage. Work to perfect the assembly, process, and LCA, including designing for manufacture and manufacturer / partner sourcing and liaison. Often including packaging design, following a similar but refined version of the whole design process, ensuring that it follows our principles and sustainable practices.

Outcome:  Full design package, files, drawings, BOM.
‍

Transfer of files and project data. Manufacture / partners liaison. Media creation and communication packages, including required CGI and artwork.
‍
Outcome: Release / Launch.

Outcome: Develop a brief.
‍

Ideation, exploration of different directions, sketch ideas, research and feasibility studies informing the concept creation process.
‍
Outcome: Select an initial path / concept direction(s).
‍

Develop the specified direction(s) from the concepting stage into mock-ups and patterns to test. A prototype and testing heavy stage, both on concept function, use and process; materials, production methods, deconstruction and end-of-life schemes and more. We work to create basis of the final design.

Outcome: Tested and developed design, initial samples.
‍

Finalise the design from the previous stage, work to perfect the outcomes, finishes, process, and LCA, including designing for manufacture and manufacturer/ partner sourcing and liaison.
