Inoda + Sveje

The design process:

In order to create a final product with the aesthetic values we are looking for, and also being optimized according to our other criteria (such as user experience, production and transportation), we include all of the product needs in our design process, it will roughly be as follows (all designers have a more or less standardized way of developing but not all will describe it). It is important to remember that the process alone have no usage if one can not distinguish the quality of different solutions, and to do this we use our "Design principles":


Research and define:

In this phase we will try to make a clear image of the task ahead. We will define the product to be designed with a few words. We will also try to pinpoint important details of added value and roughly the materials involved. The tasks are:

-Design brief ( functional): kind, materials, etc.
-Design brief ( non functional): user, appearance, etc.
-Identify major assets in the product to make it a success
-Competitive analysis
-Company / product identity analysis



Conceptual design:

At this point we will start the innovative process, conceive the ideas that will be the foundation of the product, we will start with many solutions and then narrow down to those needed:

-Sketching
-Brainstorms
-Creating alternative solutions
-Selecting the right solutions
-Creating presentations of the chosen designs



Optimization and detailing:

At this point we have identified the aesthetic values of the products, and will refine it in accordance with suitable production methods for the chosen materials:

-Proportions and ergonomics
-Production and Detailing




Test, evaluation and finalizing:

This is the time to correct details by evaluating the prototypes and decide the last parts in close contact with the production plant:

-Prototyping
-Modifying to maxify goals (design / production)
-Finishes (colors etc.)
-PR (catalogue, packaging etc.)
