Handling design revisions during the prototyping phase for custom outdoor furniture is a collaborative and iterative dance between vision and reality. It begins with a clear, documented initial brief, but we expect evolution. The first full-scale prototype, often built in a cost-effective primary material, serves as the physical conversation starter. We schedule a dedicated review session with the client, encouraging them to interact with the piece—sit on it, touch it, assess its proportions in their intended space.

Feedback is categorized: aesthetic (form, finish), functional (comfort, ergonomics), and structural (stability, joinery). Major structural changes are addressed immediately in the workshop, while aesthetic tweaks might be explored through adjusted sketches or material samples. We employ digital tools like 3D models or simple photo edits to visualize color or detail changes quickly. The key is maintaining open communication; we explain the implications of each revision on timeline, cost, and integrity. Typically, we budget for two revision cycles within the prototype phase. This structured yet flexible approach ensures the final design is not only beautiful and unique but also perfectly suited to its environment and the client's life, turning revisions from hurdles into essential steps toward a flawless piece.
