What we do
DFA is oriented to the development of product design, communication and prototyping.
Our process
According to the Design Ladder of the Danish Design Center, DFA seeks to support projects in their various stages of development – from the beginning, contributing to the analysis of the problem, the definition of the programme and typology of products; or giving shape and materializing the ideas received already in an advanced stage of development.
