        Integrated approach

        Developing a new product is a balancing act between many demands; fully featured but easy to use, robust yet lightweight, advanced while cost effective. Making multi-disciplinary choices from first sketch to final production drawings requires an integrated approach. At Spark, critical development disciplines like design research, concept design, mechanical design and electronics engineering work closely together. This way, promising ideas are created that are not only a dream but can be made into real solutions for clients and their end-customers.

        Talent, experience & open cooperation

        Successful innovation builds on creative co-creation by a well-chosen team of professionals, utilizing years of experience, raw talent and extensive knowledge to the maximum, to come to the best combination of technology, usability and design for each specific product.

        Control and flexibility are the key benefits of the direct and open dialog during a project. Clients, end users, experts and Sparkers are part of the team and all are equally challenged to contribute in their strength. The team spirit pulls us through the dynamic nature of the projects and makes sure we reach the finish line!

        Our process

        After doing 500+ innovation projects it is clear that each challenge needs a tailored process but always follows similar stages. At Spark we call these: Insights & Strategy, Integrated concept, Detail design, Design for manufacturing and Production preparation.

        Our professional development process fuels creativity, creates control and limits risks. We continuously evaluate if we’re on track to meet requirements, addressing the biggest uncertainties first to make sure we develop the right product.
