What is ottobee?

30 Years of design experience, applied to physical objects, and hybrid technologies.

Ottobee Design is a studio focusing on product design, development and production, and focusing on functional, practical, beautiful, and novel designs as parts of a larger ecosystem of function and aesthetics.

Full-stack Design

Not just concerned with the end-user’s experience, we also take into account all phases of the final design’s lifecycle which includes sourcing, materials, fabrication, manufacturing, assembly and total quality and lifespan.

A Toolmaker’s Toolmaker

Our design process requires that we switch back and forth frequently between the roles of “toolmaker” and “tool wielder”. This process seeds longer-term capabilities and applications which can grow into richer product lines and efficiencies.
