EXPERTISE
Industrial design, engineering and product development.
Formfjord develops physical products from early idea to production readiness. From our studio in Berlin, we combine industrial design, product engineering, hardware development and prototyping in one integrated process.
We work with startups, technology companies and established manufacturers on consumer products, connected devices, medical technology, mobility and energy products.
01 Industrial Design
Industrial design that gives products clarity and character.
We design physical products that are intuitive to use, distinctive to look at and realistic to manufacture.
From early product concepts and design language to ergonomics, CMF and detailed CAD development, we connect user needs, brand character and technical requirements.
Capabilities

Product Design
Concept Development
Product Experience Design
Ergonomics
CMF – Colour, Material & Finish
Design Language
Packaging Design
02 Product Engineering
Engineering that turns design into a working product.
Good industrial design needs technical depth. Our product engineering work develops the mechanics, product architecture, materials, assemblies and manufacturing logic behind the design.
By bringing industrial design and mechanical engineering together early, we reduce unnecessary iterations and create solutions that are technically feasible as well as visually coherent.

03 Hardware Development & Prototyping
Hardware development you can touch, test and improve.
We turn concepts into physical prototypes and development models early in the process.
Rapid prototyping allows us to evaluate proportions, ergonomics, mechanisms, assembly and technical feasibility before critical decisions become expensive.
Depending on the project, we support the development of connected devices, smart products, energy hardware, medical devices and consumer electronics.
Capabilities

04 Design for Manufacturing
Designed to be made.
We consider manufacturing from the beginning — not after the design is finished.
Materials, manufacturing processes, part count, assembly, tolerances and supplier requirements become part of the design process so concepts can evolve into production-ready products.
We support teams through design for manufacturing, production preparation and manufacturing handover.
Capabilities
Design for Manufacturing / DFM
Design for Production
Manufacturing Feasibility
Part & Assembly Optimisation
Production-ready CAD
Supplier Coordination
Manufacturing Support
Production Handover
05 Product Strategy & Pre-Development
Define the right product before developing it.
Early product development often starts with questions rather than answers.
We help teams turn opportunities, technologies and user needs into clear product directions. Through product strategy, feasibility studies and focused pre-development, we create a tangible basis for technical development, internal decisions and investment.
Capabilities
Product Strategy
Product Vision
Innovation Management
Product Roadmapping
Feasibility Studies

RACECAR
Need more than product development?
For projects that need both product development and brand building, Formfjord works together with WaldBranding through RACECAR.ONE — a Brand + Product studio for startups and innovation teams.
RACECAR.ONE connects industrial design and engineering with brand strategy, identity and launch — bringing product and brand together in one team.
