NEW – What we do – Design Factory Aveiro

What we do

DFA is oriented to the development of product design, communication and prototyping.

Design Factory Aveiro seeks to participate in the projects as a partner and articulates its involvement from various stages of the process. The main objective is the participation of Design as a process; integrating the projects from an early stage, participating in identifying product typologies where research can be applied to support the definition of the problem. In a more advanced phase of the project, it can participate in Design as form-giving, materializing projects in an advanced phase of development and construction of the respective prototypes.

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.
