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.
