Product development requires a constant conversation between partners. As a designer and product developer, I make it a priority to achieve a mutual understanding with my partnering suppliers and manufaturing companies - getting to know their limitations, possibilities and areas of expertise. A valued partner will save costs, effort and generate better results - for all stakeholders involved.

Sampling is a key part of product developing, where the understanding between designer and factory is tested. As Head of Design for Eightmood of Sweden, my personal material portfolio branched out from textiles to also include hard materials for the home accessories collection.

Below selected images of preselection and sampling of home accessories - in close collaboration with manufacturing partners in China, India and Vietnam.
