Design Experience
-
Multifunctional Design
Experience designing for electronic components, physical hardware, in-house engineering, and with a wide variety of materials.
-
Aesthetic Analysis
Brand language established. Designed aesthetically to synthesize with and enhance an architectural environment in a modern workspace.
-
Design Directly for Manufacturing
Every prototype assembled was routed in-house with immediate manufacturing-focused feedback. In-house production. Design for flat-pack shipping and on-site assembly. .
-
Environmental Design
Studied in-depth user journey as it relates to the greater community environment. Product exterior is designed to engage with and enhance its surroundings.
-
Neuroaesthetics
Data and user-driven experience design tuned to optimize performance, well-being, and health.
-
Multilevel Ergonomics
Focus groups and user testing of every aspect of the product. Design for direct interactive elements and an in-depth passive experience. Includes materiality, acoustics, physical touch, ambient lighting, unit controls, storage spaces, visual landscape, and accessories.
Philosophy
Our research led us to recognize the massive spectrum that different human minds cover.
Each element of the unit is designed to be operated on a spectrum: undefined and adjustable. The product was designed to avoid alienating the ‘in between’ by avoiding dichotomy where possible.
Features are linearly adjustable, enabling the user to ‘fine tune’ a unique experience to exactly what environment their unique mind is most comfortable in.
Experience
Early research into the changing workplace post-pandemic indicated a significant oversight in the offerings of the workplace to the employee.
Early Research
Built around the user, from the inside out. Features and hardware were to be worked and reworked to prioritize the user’s ability and preference. People of all variety were used as reference, recording their size, reach, occupation, and many other aspects.
Ergonomics First
Prototyping focused heavily on utilizing in-house manufacturing advantages.
Prototyping
Testing internally and externally dramatically refined transport logistics, and illuminated new paths on the user’s journey.
Field Testing
Research-driven variations in color, form, and aesthetics highlighted the impact of environmental stimuli on the user.
Product Iteration
Designed a full product platform that was successfully scaled in multiple different verticals. We were able to pivot rapidly to new market opportunities using as many existing components as possible to create our prototype and to prove the foundation for the product could be scaled across multiple verticals.
Scalable Verticals
Backend systems, production planning, inventory organization.
Production, Manufacturing, Launch
Not all features explored make it into the final design.
