Research archive / capability reference
SELECTED LONDON
DESIGN RESEARCH.
Three enduring themes from SNP’s commissioned UK research archive, re-edited here as development questions. This is archive research, not a report on current market demand.
Molten & Organic
Research lens
Shape before decoration.
SNP interpretation
Consider volume, weight and a surface that carries the silhouette.
Statement Florals
Research lens
A recognisable motif, edited for retail.
SNP interpretation
Balance a statement shape with lighter companion pieces and workable construction.
Heavy Gauge Metals
Research lens
Visual weight, considered construction.
SNP interpretation
Review scale, comfort, hinge function and the balance between solid and hollow forms.
The product directions shown are selected from SNP’s own development portfolio to illustrate the thinking. They are not presented as products historically developed from these exact boards. Third-party campaign and retailer photographs from the original research packs are not reproduced.
ONE BRIEF.
THE RIGHT DESIGN INPUT.
Bring a customer profile, an assortment gap, a visual direction or a target cost. SNP can draw on independent UK or Korea design input when useful, then develop the material, construction and sample in Qingdao.
