We are a hybrid materials studio.Bringing together a collection of minds and skills to accelerate novel material developments. We specialise in bridging the gap between manufacturers and brands along with generating communications between brands and their consumers.The traditional methods of creating materials for the future aren’t going to achieve the most sustainable results. If we want to create the next evolution of materials, different sectors will need to share their knowledge to create something greater than any one area could achieve. At Studio Osmo, we design with this in mind.We’re looking to inspire the next evolution of materials from concept to commercial application through strategic design systems and material development, implementing a multi-skilled approach across all projects. Key focus points:- Research, sourcing & design- Design strategy- Material development- Material optimisation-Workshops
