v. Process

How a pour becomes a thing

  1. Melt

    A workshop to find what the object must do and how it should feel in the hand.

  2. Pour

    Sketches, form studies and material boards, narrowed to one direction.

  3. Set

    Prototypes, detail drawings and a finish you have held, not just seen.

  4. Polish

    Manufacturer handover, packaging and launch imagery.

vi. Words

Said at the bench

The prototype felt finished the first time we picked it up.

They talked to our factory in its own language. Nothing got lost.

Our packaging is now the thing customers post about.

vii. Questions

Before we start

Do you work with our manufacturer?

Yes. We prefer to meet them early so the design fits the way they actually make things.

Can you do identity only?

Yes. Many projects start with a mark and a type system and grow into packaging later.

How do you price?

By project, after a short call. You get a fixed quote with phases, so you can stop after any of them.

Do you work remotely?

Most of the time. Samples travel by post and we visit the workshop for the key moments.
