Product
Launch products that make a difference to users and the planet
Research and application of new alternatives to conventional materials to create products with a positive social impact, that offer an environmental improvement and provoke new manufacturing realities, where aesthetics and quality are at the center.
We define new routes to generate products with value, understanding the cultural, social, economic, ecological and technological context. We transform our contemporary complexities into opportunity strategies.
We bring a critical look at innovation and new technologies, reviewing existing and potential technologies based on functionality and capabilities and not just newness.
We analyse the manufacturing value chain and the departments interactions in order to be able to make coherent proposals for each territory and company so to ensure real circularity of your systems and of the resulting products.
Service
Orchestrate the touchpoints and tangibles of great experiences
We investigate with a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods the lived experience of your audiences to understand their needs, pain points and opportunities for action
We reframe how your organization’s strategic goals translate into service improvement opportunities, helping you clarify and prioritize your challenges and align them with the needs of your audiences.
We shape the interaction between people, objects, digital products, symbols, environments, infrastructure and other elements orchestrating to meet the objectives of your services, paying attention to both aesthetics, functionality and ease of use.
We help you unstuck innovation processes by maximizing creativity through design methodologies paying attention to the dynamics of collaboration between your team, making ideas tangible and orienting them to the needs of your audiences and the context of your organization.
Policy
Design instruments and infrastructures transforming lives
We map the entire spectrum of policies, instruments and other interventions around a citizen need, so that improving coherence between interventions reinforces monitoring, learning and evaluation systems about the impact of policies.
We carry out ethnographic research and generate materials to communicate citizens’ lived experience with policies, and facilitate with visual and tangible elements the collaboration of the stakeholders involved in the design processes of the policies themselves. We support their implementation by activating our product and service design experience.
We offer teams with expert knowledge in the design of policies and services, and work to sustain, facilitate and increase the impact of networks, tables, and other institutions taking care of a specific citizen need or problem.
Futures
Anticipate materially the world that is coming
We investigate beyond the usual context of direct functionality straddling art and research to explore the limits of established conventions.
We explore the imaginaries and the entire emotional spectrum provoked by anticipations on specific topics through discursive analysis, the creation of images, objects and immersive experiences that allow us to work on the tensions of the present.
We use design research and other related disciplines to investigate and generate knowledge, sharing it with professionals and students.
