Product Design and Development

the challenge

Update the two existing products to be more modern, cut down manufacturing time and costs to allow for upgrading of components. Develop several new products using the new design language and broadening the product range.

the solution

Rethink the entire assembly and manufacturing process, prototype over 10 designs per product, and create a design language anchored in its roots but more fitting for modern design.

the results

A new design language, streamlined components for use across multiple products, and manufacturing time decrease. This was accomplished through use of new component suppliers, manufacturing floor redesign, tooling optimization, and the complete redesign of the inside of the cabinets. This allowed for the addition of several new products, all of this over a 3 year period.
