Desmo provides design and technical development support for furniture brands looking to develop new products, refine existing designs, or strengthen their internal product development capacity.
From initial concepts to technical development and manufacturing documentation, our services can be engaged individually or combined to suit each project's needs.
01. Furniture Design Development
Turning ideas into considered product concepts.
We help furniture brands explore and develop product ideas into clear design directions, considering proportions, functionality, materials, and brand identity.
Working from a brief, reference images, sketches, or existing concepts, we develop and refine designs for individual products or collections.
Scope of support may include:
Design exploration and alternative concepts
Form, proportion, and functional development
3D modelling and visualisation
Design refinement based on feedback
Product and collection development
Typical deliverables:
3D concept models
Rendered product visuals
Design alternatives, where required
Refined 3D models of selected designs
Design information and dimensions appropriate to the development stage
Suitable for brands developing new collections, exploring product variations, or seeking additional design capacity.
02. Technical Product Development
Developing the details behind the design.
We translate design intent into practical construction solutions, developing the structures, components, and mechanisms needed to move furniture designs towards manufacturing.
Working from an approved concept, existing CAD model, reference product, or visual material, we consider construction, materials, assembly, and manufacturing requirements.
Scope of support may include:
3D CAD modelling and model refinement
Construction and joinery development
Mechanism and component development
Material and hardware considerations
Assembly and manufacturing considerations
Dimensional development and technical detailing
Typical deliverables:
Developed 3D CAD models
Construction and joinery details
Mechanism and component solutions
Material and hardware specifications, where required
Technical details and dimensions for further development
Suitable for brands needing practical construction solutions, technical refinement, or support in resolving product development challenges.
03. Technical Documentation
Making product details clear for manufacturing.
We prepare technical drawings and supporting documentation to communicate product construction and support the manufacturing process.
Working from an existing design, developed CAD model, or approved technical solution, we produce documentation according to the product's construction and manufacturing requirements.
Scope of support may include:
3D CAD modelling and final model preparation
General arrangement drawings
Dimensioned technical drawings
Component and part drawings
Construction and assembly details
Manufacturing specifications
Typical deliverables:
Basic documentation:
3D CAD models
General arrangement drawings
Dimensioned technical drawings
Construction and assembly details
Additional documentation (when required):
Individual component drawings
Bill of Materials (BOM), where included in the agreed scope
Assembly instructions
Additional manufacturing details and specifications
Suitable for brands requiring clear technical drawings and documentation to communicate product details to factories, suppliers, and production teams.
The scope and level of detail are agreed according to the product, project requirements, and stage of development. Services can be provided individually or combined into a more comprehensive product development process.
A Flexible Working Approach
Not every project requires the same level of involvement.
You may need help developing a design concept, resolving a specific construction challenge, or preparing technical documentation for an existing product.
Desmo works with your team to define the appropriate scope and deliverables before the work begins.
