Process

Every project is unique and requires a tailor-made approach. To ensure that projects are structured, they are divided into phases. The briefing determines which phases must be carried out and which actions and tools are needed to complete them successfully. Each phase ends with a meeting and, where necessary, there is interim consultation. This way a project can be adjusted on time and costs can be controlled.

By using Design research, interviews and Design Sprints, innovative ideas are created and tested in a short time. These new ideas are translated into attractive and user-friendly concepts, which are optimized into a feasible design through prototyping and testing. Remortel is always looking for ways to make a product more sustainable. For this, LCA’s are used and new business models as well as the application of new sustainable materials are examined.
