About
We are a transdisciplinary car design & mobility research studio that works globally across the entire mobility ecosystem.
We help brands and organisations to be successful within the future mobility context.
As consultants and creative partners, we work closely with organisations, providing assistance on specific activities or acting as turn-key suppliers.
As a forward-thinking team, we research the future of mobility and the possibilities of emerging digital technologies within the realm of design. By doing so, we are able to develop cutting-edge ideas and tools that help our clients anticipate the ever-evolving reality.
360° Mobility Design
Our activities are organised into 3 disciplines, covering the complete field of mobility design. In addition to our excellent competences in each of the three disciplines, we are truly unique in providing services in the overlap between them.
AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN
Our automotive design studio embraces all the expertise and know-how that is needed to design and develop vehicles from ideation to delivering math models ready for production.
INTERACTION DESIGN
Our dedicated Interaction Design team specializes in creating HMI systems, UX/UI design projects, and holistic vehicle interactions. We take pride in our ability to create multidimensional interactions.
MOBILITY DESIGN
In our Mobility Design Studio, we design integrated and sustainable mobility systems. We focus on creating spaces, vehicles, services, and strategies that are sustainable and future-proof.
User Centered, Context Driven
Our projects vary greatly, but they all share a focus on putting the user at the center and considering the context in which they will interact. When it comes to innovating, our design approach serves as our foundation:
1
Understand the future context and how it will impact the desired user experience.
2
Use the desired user experience as the guiding principle during the projects.
3
Use state of the art tools to facilitate fast iterations based on lived experiences.
4
Execute, knowing it is the small details that ultimately determine the outcome.
