Sports & Lifestyle

Whether we’re working, learning, doing sports or just moving around: the products we use shape how we live our lives on a daily basis. From lifestyle items to athlete-grade sports equipment and solutions for better mobility (we’re really good at bicycle design), we bring over twenty-five years of experience in design of sports and consumer products that bring together brand and personal user identity in differentiating human experiences.

We work closely with patients, caregivers and clinical professionals to create medical devices, implants and tools that address their needs, improve health outcomes and minimize risk. Our user-centered development and testing processes ensure your latest innovation is designed for high usability and meets the latest regulations.

We solve complex business challenges with easy-to-use products

Human-centered design

We create differentiating products by challenging the status-quo from a human-centric lens. From sketch to launch, iterative application of user research techniques, rapid prototyping and usability testing ensure that the unique behaviors, expectations and environments of end users inspire every design choice we make.

Manufacturing and production management

Our engineers are experts in a wide range of production techniques, like injection moulding, sheetmetal, extrusion, die casting, milling, 3D-printing, and more. From mechanical engineering to verification of the last prototypes and first production runs, we guide you all the way to ensure the product is set to conquer the market.

Scalable system architecture

Our teams build on long-standing expertise in technical feasibility, user validation and prototyping to develop system layouts and product architecture early on in the process. In parallel, we draw on best practices in electronics, mechanics, software and new technologies to optimize for longevity, manufacturability and regulatory standards.
