Design and Development Engineering for New Innovative Furniture Line
Introduction
A leading OEM of innovative furniture solutions chose DISHER for engineering design and development support on a new, flexible, mobile furniture product line.
The OEM needed to augment their team with the skills and expertise needed to launch four products: a mobile charging cart, a mobile all-purpose cart, freestanding screens/panels, flexible tables, and a panel/board stand.
The purpose of the new product family was to foster collaboration and connection in the workplace. Additionally, they wanted to shorten their product development life cycle by half.
Process
DISHER provided fully integrated, onsite support from concept definition to production readiness. A cross-functional POD consisting of customer and DISHER team members worked together to streamline productivity, communication, and collaboration. There were several variations in the design work for the carts, panels, and panel/board stand. Each item needed to be mobile, safe, and easy to transport.
Outcome and Reactions of Final Product
Beautifully designed in form and flexible function, the new product line was successfully launched in less time. The product line received top honors at Neocon 2019 with the Gold in Best of NeoCon for Furniture Collections for Collaboration. The furniture collection earned six US design patents and one utility patent.
