Metaform Product Development is an award-winning, San Francisco / Silicon Valley based product innovation, industrial design and manufacturing company creatively optimizing the value, function, and aesthetics of products and inventions.
Metaform Product Development partners with manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and inventors worldwide to develop innovative new products or improve existing ones. We devise unique, functional and market appealing design solutions with careful consideration to usability, features, and manufacturability.
Our flexible company structure allows us to custom assemble multi-disciplinary teams when needed to meet project specific goals. Beyond industrial design, we can also utilize our manufacturing relationships in Asia to manage engineering and production. Our founder speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese and has extensive experience in the USA, Taiwan and Greater China.
A special forte of ours is product concept development. We produce compelling conceptual design visuals and models used to help investors, customers and market focus groups visualize breakthrough ideas for feedback, venture capital acquisition, preliminary marketing, and manufacturing quotation.
Our experience is diverse and we have innovated for a wide variety of sectors spanning consumer, technology, medical, scientific, sporting goods, and toys.
Aside from standard contracts, we also entertain hybrid engagements using a base design fee with royalty or equity position for innovation. We share risks and rewards with clients as vested partners. This flexible business model allows us to align our long term interests with our client's and gives us incentive to openly devise and contribute valuable innovations and unexpected intellectual property aimed at dominating a competitive, discerning marketplace.
Hybrid arrangements combining a base design fee with royalties on net sales for innovation / invention is a win-win for both client and designer.
We welcome collaboration with established manufacturers, start-ups and inventors interested in creating differentiated, innovative, industry leading product designs.
