Tensa studies Functional prototypes and product interfaces in Milan, Italy

We trace the route.
Analyzing the market through the eyes of designers' means to contextualize the new product, identifying the guidelines that define aesthetic model in relation to this type of product and market segment.

Be creative.
We let run our imaginations and capacity for abstraction to define concepts and innovative solutions that will be the basis for the development of the project.

The idea takes shape.
Our team members' different backgrounds will ensure that the aesthetic proposals will be a balanced and positive combination of style, functionality and ergonomics.

Design is a sensory experience.
Product's shape is only one of the aspects that define its identity. We think it's important to "draw" the product also through the choice of the most suitable materials, textures and color ranges for a better perception. This is why we believe that the selection of materials,texture and colores is very important to design work.

We make products talk.
It happens somtimes that a well-designed product is difficult to use due to a frustrating interface. For this reason we study the semiotics of the product through the graphics in order to improve the user-friendly experience and their perception of the design.

From paper to reality.
Through mockups we can better estimate the volume and the overall visual perception. By modifying and refining the details of the mockups could make them even for a public presetation.

Beautiful and possible.
The aim is safeguarding the original idea. So after a feasibility study, we define all the constraints and the technical aspects of every single components and assembly; finally, we develop 3D models all aimed at the realization of the equipment.

Go beyond.
Thanks to technologies that we are now able to simulate the conditions under which using the products (eg: study efforts, optical analysis, thermal analysis ...) in order to evaluate the pros and cons of the solution and anticipate problems before stepping into investment on prototypes or equipments.

We install , try and see.
We create aesthetic and structura prototypes on which we run all tests (functional, assembly, etc.) to validate the design before realize the final products in order to reduce the risk of correcting final products.

Cost control.
By reviewing existing products, we fully aware of the costs throughtout developing products. Based on clients' requirements we choose carefully what materials and tecniques to apply in order to reduce the negative financial impact on clients' companies.

As well as beautiful must be producible.
Before lanuching onto market, It is necessarily to make sure that a product can be produced in series in terms of various sizes etc.. We always make the design flexible to meet the demands of clients'.

Team work .
We follow every steps of the project until the first pieces of prototype has been installed properly and correctly. To ensure it ,we work closely or follow up continuely with prototype makers or suppliers supporting and guiding them to realize our design.
