Design Strategy

Inspiration is vital to all new product and concept developments. OvN are designers at heart, we thrive on the challenge of thinking about, visualising and creating new designs and design experiences.

We can show you which key elements will drive design aesthetics in the future and which colours, materials and shapes will become relevant for your product group and why. In our studio we translate the big picture trends, future consumer mindset and function requirements into relevant visual form and colour.

CONCEPTS & DESIGN BRIEFINGS

Oltmans van Niekerk is a research studio that can assist with the future direction of new product development. If you are looking to develop a new product or product range, we can create a design concept and design briefing and help create a unique visual language to communicate your vision or new product offer. 

INNOVATIVE MATERIALS

Over the years, OvN has created a material library full of innovative swatches and material experiments. OvN can create new material concepts and ideas for your product group. The team creates innovative new materials through 3D printing, etching, cutting, coating, surface effects, and treatments. As starting points for your new concepts or exploring technical or sustainable new resources, OvN can help you explore the possibilities. 

Long-term COLOUR

Oltmans van Niekerk creates and advises on colour palettes and long-term colour strategies. We show how colours will evolve and how, future values, new materials and ways of making will influence colours and materials.
