R&… _ MATERIAL RESEARCH

​

Our in depth material research helps our clients to identify unique methodology that suits their specific product development needs.

​

Our research is centred towards hybrid methods of textiles making, with focus on related trends across different industries. We undertake a wide range of research that covers hand crafting to industrial scale.

​

Each commissioned trend book is packed with comprehensive unique and tailored information that reflects sustainability, highlights design systems and shows impact, with specific material analysts to answer each individual client’s brief.

​

…&D _ MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT

​

For each material R&D project, the research is then followed with the material development phase. We develop physical material palettes for each commissioned project.

​

Each material prototype has a unique formula which can lead to new concept developments for our client.  

Our aim with the material development phase is to assist our clients in developing a well-considered colour and material palette that can fit well within their product road map and effectively reflect their company DNA.

​

R&D +  _ MATERIAL VALIDATION

​

Beyond R&D, we also provide consultation with project management services, this service aims to help clients bridge the gap between innovative textile development and product integration processes.

​

We create R&D solutions to aid the integration of textiles in to the product structure, or to integrate textiles with technology during production.

​

We partner with experienced prototype makers, engineers, laboratories and factories to refine textiles for pre-production stages.
