How we invent

All of our projects follow the same process that provides a high level of invention, no matter the domain.
We handle everything from problem analysis to a final product matured for industrial production.

Process overview and intro to example project
Play Video
Every project starts with a vision of solving an issue from a new angle by questioning the well-known and developing robust solutions. Through five phases, we work creatively and systematically, going from a problem to a concept solution to a finished product ready for production. In this video series, we illustrate the process with the Biodispenser project for Copenhagen Municipality.

Phase 1

Research & ideation
Play Video

In this phase, a wide range of solution ideas are combined and turned into approx. three to six alternative concepts. These are all described in text, illustration and made physical through quick and rough models (mock-ups). The many alternatives are evaluated in collaboration with project stakeholders and potential users, narrowing the selection down to two to three concepts.
1-3 months. Typical deliveries:

In this phase, we spend a lot of time in the workshop, experimenting with how the main function and sub-functions can be carried out in practice. In parallel with physical modelling, we consider how manufacturing, construction, economy, sustainability, and aesthetics can play together. The phase ends with involvement of project stakeholders to discuss and select a final concept.
1-3 months. Typical deliveries:
Requirements list.
Form design.
Functinal models.

Phase 4

Product maturing and testing

We develop the selected concept further by detailing each component and exactly how the product will play together with the context it is used in. We bring as much as possible together into a functional prototype that can be tested with users in the proper context, from which design modifications can be made.
1-3 months. Typical deliveries:
CAD 3D models.

Phase 5

Construction and production maturing

In the final phase, we get the product ready for launch. Basically, we make sure that what we design can be manufactured professionally and used safely. This involves making final CAD-models, technical drawings and data sheets, getting certifications and going into dialogue with suppliers and production partners.

CAD construction.
Beta prototype.
