Handling the development of new outdoor furniture prototypes for ODM clients is a structured, collaborative journey from concept to tangible product. It begins with an in-depth discovery phase. We analyze the client's target market, brand aesthetic, price point, and functional requirements. This initial alignment is crucial for setting a clear direction.

Next, our design team translates the brief into initial concepts, often presenting mood boards, 2D sketches, and 3D renderings. This visual stage allows for early feedback and adjustment before any physical resources are committed. Once a direction is approved, detailed technical drawings are created, specifying every dimension, joint, and material specification.

The core of prototype development happens in our workshop. Skilled craftsmen select appropriate materials—whether it's sustainable teak, powder-coated aluminum, or high-performance synthetic wicker—and build the first physical sample. This prototype is not just for looks; it undergoes rigorous testing for stability, durability, and comfort. We assess its assembly process, packaging requirements, and overall manufacturability to identify potential cost or production challenges early.

Throughout this process, we maintain transparent communication with the client, sharing progress photos and videos. The completed prototype is then presented for a comprehensive review. We encourage hands-on evaluation and gather detailed feedback on design, finish, and feel. This iterative stage may involve one or more refined samples until every detail meets the client's exact standards and is optimized for mass production. Our goal is to deliver a prototype that is not only beautiful and functional but also engineered for efficient, high-quality manufacturing, de-risking the launch for our ODM partners.
