Product Ideation & Concept Alignment

Once the direction is set, our development team transforms your ideas into workable designs.
Our capabilities include :

  • Translating sketches, photos or CAD into production-ready shapes

  • Creating accurate technical drawings

  • Offering form optimisation for stability and scalability

  • Suggesting improvements based on clay and pulp behaviour

This helps convert early concepts into manufacturable design.

We begin by aligning with your vision, market needs and price points.
This includes:

  • Understanding your target market and product categories

  • Reviewing moodboards, trend insights or seasonal directions

  • Recommending suitable materials, forms and finishes

  • Guiding feasibility based on weight, structure, and shipping requirements

This stage ensures we begin with clarity and creative alignment.

Prototyping & Sampling

Design Development & Technical Translation

We create physical prototypes that bring your vision to life.
Our sampling process involves:

  • Hand-sculpted terracotta or layered papier-mâché prototypes

  • Iterative samples based on your feedback

  • Custom finish development: pigments, washes, distressing, texture

  • Sample sets for size, finish and artwork approvals

  • Pre-production sample (PPS) finalisation

This ensures you approve the exact specifications that will go into bulk

production.

Material Preparation & Craft Production

Once samples are approved, production begins.
Our craftsmanship is supported by structured systems:

  • Clay preparation, purification and ageing

  • Mold development for scale-friendly shapes

  • Wheel-thrown and hand-built terracotta work

  • Traditional pulp-layer papier-mâché shaping

  • Controlled drying cycles to prevent cracks or warping

  • Double-firing options for strength and durability

  • Measurement templates for consistent sizing

This maintains artisanal authenticity while meeting volume requirements.
