Design and development of furniture handles

Germany

Process steps are essentially concept, development and implementation. In the conception phase, free associations and thoughts play the main role. essentially it is about approaches to problem-solving. different methods for finding ideas are used here. Well-known solutions and familiar processes are questioned, alternatives are considered. The development transfers the approaches to more or less concrete forms, the first geometries are created. flow e.g. ergonomic, technical and aesthetic parameters. Materials are considered, manufacturing processes are considered. In the implementation, the detailed processing of the draft takes place with the aim of conveying specifications to the manufacturers that are not technically feasible or economically viable. Hand sketches and 3D software are used. Visualizations can be created to get realistic ideas about the products. Drafts can be converted into models in our own model making workshop as well as with the 3D printer.

The studio fp.formgebung, Darmstadt, founded by frank person, has been developing products for manufacturers of consumer and capital goods in various industries since 1999. Focus is on the design of so-called everyday items. Requirements are a concise, clear and appealing design, pleading for a self-explanatory, simple and understandable handling and an optimal function. Sustainable means aiming at the highest possible material and production quality and a well balanced economy, both in terms of consumption and use, and also from an aesthetic point of view.Cooperations with other disciplines, craftsmen and manufacturers form a proven and solid basis that has grown over the years.In-depth knowledge of different materials and various manufacturing methods are a decisive advantage.The prerequisites for a successful collaboration are openness, optimism and respect. We have successfully developed products for numerous companies in Germany and abroad.It is my firm conviction to find the design approach based on an economically appropriate use of form, function and material, in the sense of the "beautiful, true and good".It is a tightrope walk on the cutting edge between new technology and the familiar. An opportunity and a challenge - for developers and manufacturers.As a responsible product designer, I see myself as a stimulator and mediator and see my task in finding concepts, working out the essentials, developing products together that follow the principles of "good design".
