tech & materials monitoring

After a large review of what the market offered in terms of protection, we structured our technology monitoring with several criteria specific to protective products: anti-abrasion; shock absorption; lightness; etc.

a project based on professional experience knowledge

To refine our knowledge of traumatology in the concerned sports, we lead a campaign of interviews with athletes and emergency doctors. This allowed us to identify areas to protect, and to define points to improve in the design of the protection: freedom of movement; breathability; support; …

combining futuristic vision and technical design

We had a macro and micro approach to the problem, by designing the best absorbent cell geometry, and integrating these into a flexible complex worn by the user.

We formalized several concepts based on prospective and/or emerging technologies, in order to feed the upcoming creative workshop.

boosting the process with co-creation

We then formalized viable POCs in a minimum of time thanks to an Advanced Design workshop.

We put this time to good use, even prototyping “monsters” on site. This allowed us to quickly validate the “phantom” nature of the concept, in terms of freedom of movement and breathability.

an award-winning product

The functionality of this new protective vest has been recognized by two major international juries, and has already been awarded an iF design award and a red dot design award.
