Materials And Finishing Lab

Optimising the user experience with a quality design strategy.

In our materials and finishing lab we take a user-centred approach to design. Identifying the great experiences customers want, then steering the product development process to deliver them.

We have a deep understanding of perceived quality, and understand exactly how materials and finishing can optimise the user experience. The challenge of creating a higher perception of something lies in all the minute details. Consideration for not just the look and feel of items, but also the sounds that form part of the experience.

Equally important is sustainability, and we select eco-friendly materials and finishes to complement eco-friendly products. In the materials and finishing lab we combine our design engineering expertise with a holistic and scientific approach. As a result, we help our clients deliver products that are both effective and memorable.

Good design should provide more than just functionality, it should add meaningful value to the end-user. Our approach is to balance efficiency with quality, creating products with purpose that delight the customer.
