Imagine if, before tendering, municipalities first conduct a thorough design process together with an experienced design agency. This leads to better products in the public domain with lower implementation risks. Spark has proven to be successful in collaborating with municipalities, focusing on valuable innovations in preparation for tenders.

Throughout the design journey, one must navigate numerous compromises between conflicting design characteristics. A dynamic interplay between functionality, usability, weight, aesthetics, producibility, repairability and durability, to name a few.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of robotics, one crucial trend stands out: the importance of creating an exceptional User Experience (UX) in human-robot interaction. As robotics become an integral part of our daily lives, the focus on designing and developing robots with user-centric principles is proving to be a game-changer.

Introducing a newly developed product to the market is entering uncharted territory. What hidden problems may arise when the product is deployed 'in the field' and how significant will their impact be?

There are two things that really get us going in the morning. First, the anticipation of developing incredible innovations, and second, a good old cup of coffee. Wouldn't it be fantastic to combine these two passions?

Whilst designing an explosion-save product you enter the world of regulations, safety requirements and protection principles. Initially, these products are not immediately associated with creativity, but it certainly takes a creative mind to make the design process a success.

Your flagship product: It is functional, beautiful, perfected over the years. It generates the majority of your turnover and it makes your brand shine. Your company blooms because of it. The product is so successful, you don’t want to change it. As a matter of fact… you don’t dare to change it. What if you killed the magic?

By definition, a client has unique knowledge and insights; Not only about the market and about the target group, but in particular about their own strategy, ambitions, culture, how risk averse they are, and scope for investment.

We live in incredibly exciting times. Advancements in sensor technology, battery life and wireless communication are being combined with mechanical ingenuity, smarter software and intuitive interfaces.
