DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

We deliver design and product development services tailored to individual brands, built on insight, creativity and technical expertise from concept to store.

We design and produce branded products, from garment accessories to complete retail environments, translating visual identity into physical experiences. Every project is shaped by insight, collaboration and technical expertise, combining creativity, functionality and craftsmanship. From the first sketch to production-ready design, we help brands move confidently from concept to store.

Design with intent

STUDIO 9’s creative designers shape coherent and compelling visual concepts across garment accessories, packaging, retail elements and full store environments. We guide customers through the design journey, from trend insights and initial inspiration, through material exploration, to a strong creative direction. Supported by specialist expertise, we work with both premium and commercial brands to find the right balance between aesthetics, function, price and quality, creating solutions that feel relevant, expressive and aligned with each brand.

Develop with precision

STUDIO 9’s technical specialists turn creative ideas into production-ready solutions. We refine materials, details and construction, providing technical drawings, engineering support and value-optimised solutions that are built to perform. With a focus on function, feasibility and durability, we ensure that every product or retail element is ready for reliable execution across markets and environments.

"Where insight, design and production come together"

Shape brand identity

Whether we develop garment accessories, packaging or complete retail environments, our starting point is always the brand’s DNA. Brand values are translated into clear, tangible expressions that remain consistent across every touchpoint – from buttons and labels to retail elements and fixtures. The result is a visual and physical identity that enables brands to communicate who they are with clarity, cohesion and confidence.

Guided by design principles

Our design principles guide how we approach product development and advise our customers. They inform our design thinking, material recommendations, and development processes from the earliest stages.

These principles help us identify opportunities to improve product lifespan, material use, functionality, and circularity - while recognising that final outcomes depend on project requirements, customer priorities, and cost considerations.

When designing and developing solutions, we actively seek to:

Design for longevity and long product life
Propose certified and responsibly sourced materials where available
Explore mono-material solutions where feasible
Prioritise renewable materials when suitable alternatives exist
Design products that can be disassembled and updated over time
Support circularity through informed material choices
Reduce environmental impact through considered production
Use digital tools and 3D to minimise waste and sampling
Share knowledge to support more informed customer decisions
