How we work

Our process is dynamic and can be scaled and adapted to meet specific briefs, budgets and timescales but everything is built around unlocking true potential.
  1. Image Grid with Analyze

    Analyze

    This is where the adventure kicks off. We're on a mission to tap into topic experts, understand user and client needs through keen observation and deep analysis. We're not just following the norm; we're scouting for fresh opportunities in every field and shaking up what's considered standard.

    • Technology Research
    • Market Benchmarking
    • Strategic Focus
    • Trend Analysis
    • Inpiration
    • User Understanding
  2. Image Grid with Define

    Define

    Here starts the most enjoyable and challenging phase of the process. Everyone, not just our team, gets creative because we love co-innovating with our clients. The key is to bring innovation while being smart enough to avoid 'reinventing the wheel'.

    • Layout Architecture
    • Language Criteria
    • Concept Discovering
    • Material Exploration
    • Strategic Definitions
  3. Image Grid with Refine

    Refine

    This iterative refinement phase polishes and enhances concepts, ensuring they align perfectly with the established vision. This stage is dedicated to fine-tuning every detail, elevating the design's functionality and aesthetics. This is also when digital and physical solutions start to come together through functional prototyping, mockups, or even UX testing.

    • CAD Modeling
    • CMF Exploration (Color, Material, Finish)
    • Pre-Visualization
    • Functional Mock-ups
  4. Image Grid with Implement

    Implement

    As the pinnacle of our thorough process, this phase brings the vision to life. n-others collaborates with worldwide allies and manufacturers to DELIVER to our clients; all of this involves building an extensive tech-pack, assisting in sourcing, and even defining the standards the product needs to meet.

    We iterate through samples, creating comprehensive and precise reports. At the end, 'we make it happen'.

    • Photorealistic visualization
    • Product detail presentation
    • Mechanical engineering
    • Design For Manufacturing support (DFM)

Our Clients

I had the pleasure to collaborate with n-others through the process of engineering and design, in a manufacturable level, of our new Meeting Room. I have to say they are not only extremely talented and skillful designers, they are also extremely hard workers.

Alejandra Albarran Director of Design & Innovation at ROOM

Our experience with the team has been nothing short of outstanding. Their industrial design talent and thoughtful consideration of user experience and market awareness, complemented by their ability to create breathtaking renderings, has greatly supported our product design programs and communication with our clients.

John Caldwell Founder of One Block

n-others has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Anytime we've come to them for work, they've delivered above our expectation. Our team can trust n-others to do a stellar job on any type of project we give them, and that trust is exactly why we keep going back to them time and time again.

Torin Rittenberg Director of Growth at Branch Furniture

I first worked with Ale Sarra over ten years ago, and since then I have had the pleasure of working with him on numerous projects, ranging from luggage to modular architecture for offices. Time and again, I have seen Ale and his team at n-others go above and beyond the simple brief. They bring their utmost to every assignment and act as true business partners, not just design-for-hire.
