Our Process

We help align brands with their goals through physical technology experiences. This is the simple process we undertake working alongside our clients to best achieve this:

Discover

Let us immerse you in the possibilities of technology and design. We use various research and exploration techniques to identify opportunities. In turn we will sit down with you to understand your business and project requirements and align these with the possibilities. Prototype
Once the possibilities and strategy has been identified it is time to test our ideas! Here we use rapid prototyping techniques to check the set of assumptions will work. We combine our various departments to seamlessly create an entire project. The result is an experience that is both captivating and refined. Support
Often technical solutions need some type of support in the field. We create user manuals for our products. Often training days and even technical support at the events is essential. This ensures the success of the project no matter curveballs are thrown, and there are often many.

Thebe Magugu reimagined the Orlando Pirates skull as a maze. A nod to the long, winding road the club has walked to get here. So we built it.

Behind the scenes of the adidas × Orlando Pirates × Thebe Magugu 23/24 jersey launch (2023): a maze structure rising in the heart of Joburg, an LED-lit universe inside, and a vault at its core holding the new kit until the moment of reveal.

Swipe through the sketches, the steel, and the late nights it took to turn a pattern on a jersey into a space you could walk through.

A perfectly tidy workshop? We always have multiple projects on the go, and the workshop space is constantly moving as a project snakes its way through the different workstations.

We are a tech-forward industrial design studio in South Africa, transforming concepts into impactful real-world solutions.

Some moments, faces and project behind the scenes from the last few weeks. Hands in the workshop, minds at the desk. Every build starts with curiosity and ends with something real.

Ryan needs at least two cups before the day properly starts. Most ideas happen somewhere between cup two and cup four.
