About Studiohead design
Passionate about designing products and services to improve lives
What we do...
We are an independent Design and Innovation consultancy, with experience in working in a variety of industry sectors and across design disciplines. We thrive on bringing new ideas to the table based on evidence, and taking them through to production.
Market-proven experience...
We have market-proven experience in taking concepts from the drawing board through to manufacture, employing the latest in CAD and rapid prototyping technologies. A good example is the Dopie flip-flop, which we have developed with Terra Plana. It has sold over one hundred thousand pairs around the world, and is growing year on year. We are now introducing further original fashion items to the brand.
Leading with design...
Design is a discipline that should be core to any organisation’s development. The market has shown that design should be an embedded driving force of the decision making process, helping you to get closer to the lives of your customers and add value to your business offering. According to the Design Council:
“Our Design Index – an index of 61 design-led businesses – has out-performed the FTSE 100 by more than 200% over the past decade.“
What drives us...
We believe that the more variety and stimulus in a designer’s working life, the greater the chances of cross-fertilisation and market changing innovation. We are inspired and driven by the broad range of experiences we get from our clients.
The prime advantage of working with an external consultancy such as Studiohead is that we can bring fresh eyes to your business as well as skills, ideas and ways of thinking gathered from working in different sectors. Creativity comes from spending life with eyes wide open and an eagerness to explore, and not from looking inwards, so no matter how small or large your project is, we would love to hear about it....
Where we started...
Studiohead has been built on a wide range of skill bases. Design partners Cian Plumbe and Matthew Harrison met on the Industrial Design Engineering MA course at the Royal College of Art, and followed this with a number of research and inclusive design projects through the highly respected Helen Hamlyn Centre, at the RCA.
These projects included Workplace design and future forecasting as part of the Designing for the 21st Century Initiative, and telecommunications concepts and future-scoping for BT and RIM (creators of the Blackberry).
Through our commercial projects we have expanded our expertise to be able to offer services in branding, graphic design, web, interactive design, and 3d visualisation.
