The UK business is a product development agency and concept lab. It develops new disruptive ideas in the retail sector for global marketing and manufacturing. The agency has done a lot of work through business open innovation platforms, most notably, Philips, Proctor & Gamble, and Unilever.
Working in constant collaboration with other product designers, inventors, and engineers it has a number of new and innovative products at various stages of development.
Currently the designer is seeking a joint venture partnership with a manufacturer with the capacity for the development of an innovative bike seat. The patent-pending design is one of a small number of products the designer is developing for the global market.
The seat, with a central spine and floating vulcanized rubber fillets, is a major new bike saddle developed to address the occupational hazard of saddle sores.
The radical new design breaks new ground in ergonomics and practicality for long-distance cyclists.
Because prototyping and manufacture are expensive and often cost-prohibitive, the UK company is seeking a strategic partnership (ideally a joint venture) with a manufacturer who would have the capacity to engineer, test, and refine this product from design to manufacture.
A joint venture partnership and/or long term manufacturing agreement are sought.
