Eager to meet the needs of their shifting demographic, Panasonic called on us to connect key consumer insights and craft a new appliance design language specifically for China. The new approach blended two factors: ‘harmony’ and ‘delight. Together, these elements neatly bound both European and New-Age Asian belief systems.
Working from home has become the norm, and office workplaces are trying to blur the boundary with a space that feels like a home from home.
Yet, despite the renewed focus on home offices in recent years, the computer monitor market has barely moved forward. Inspired by this, we considered whether a more domestic design language and material palette could create a new language of tech for the home.

Ode was designed to stimulate the appetite in people with dementia and rekindle their love of food, bringing dignity back to their mealtimes.
Our success in the @DesignCouncil ‘Living Well with Dementia’ Design Challenge showed us the power of inclusive, user-centric design in making a difference in people's lives. We learned the value of empathy and deep user research, which we now apply to all our projects.
Mark in his element…

A growing shift toward usership creates powerful opportunities for digital services that champion access over accumulation.
Our concept app ‘This for That’ gives communities a practical route into that mindset through fast onboarding, intuitive flows and a borrowing process designed to feel natural.
The result is a service framework that supports confident lending, smooth borrowing and a practical path toward more sustainable habits.

A strong sharing culture depends on a system that feels effortless. ‘This for That’ is our studio concept that reflects this through clear UX structures and simple, human-centred flows.
Clean categorisation supports quick discovery, while a streamlined request journey reduces friction at every step. By giving people instant visibility of what sits within reach, the app turns everyday items into shared resources with real value.

This for That grew from a simple insight: people regularly need items for a single moment. A drill for one job. A tent for one festival. A few extra chairs for one dinner.
Through an intuitive app, neighbours can share what they already own and borrow what they need. Clear UX, seamless flows and a friendly interface transform small community moments into a meaningful shift toward usership.
Strong digital design creates accessible, local lending and a lighter impact on the planet.

Salt of the Earth needed a refillable system that balanced form, function and commercial strength.
We refined each component to reduce material use, elevate PCR content and streamline manufacturing. Our team guided the project from first concept to tooling and built a supply chain ready for high-volume production.

Salt of the Earth built its reputation on natural care and long-lasting protection. Our role centred on translating that integrity into a refillable system with strong everyday usability.
The rollerball delivers smooth application with a robust, reliable mechanism. The companion refill bottle supports easy decanting and consistent performance across repeated use.
The result offers customers a practical daily ritual with a lighter material footprint and a longer product lifetime.
