RESEARCH, METHOD, AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FOR INDUSTRY
Many companies have excellent production capabilities but struggle to turn them into lasting competitive advantage. Our work is born from this awareness.
The research center founded by Renzo Fauciglietti and Graziella Bianchi has developed over 1,200 projects for Italian and international companies, working in particular in the fields of furniture, industrial design, and construction systems.
Our approach is not limited to form or to a single product: we work on method, process, and the industrial sustainability of design choices.
THE PROBLEM WE TACKLE
Many companies today face one of the following situations:
- valid products that are easily replicable
- industrial costs that rise without a real increase in value
- slow and unpredictable new product development
- dependence on external solutions not integrated into the company’s DNA
In these cases, the problem is not a lack of creativity, but the absence of a structured method that unites engineering, design, and production.
OUR METHOD
Our work is based on an applied research approach that integrates:
- technical and production analysis
- design culture
- deep knowledge of materials and industrial processes
- continuous dialogue with the company
Every project starts with a simple question:
This method is described and documented in the book “Fauciglietti Engineering – History and Method of Design” (Silvana Editoriale), which collects experiences, case studies, and reflections developed over more than forty years of activity.
WHAT WE OFFER COMPANIES
We collaborate with entrepreneurs who aim to:
- reduce risk in the development of new products
- build product platforms that can be replicated over time
- optimize the balance between quality, cost, and process
- strengthen the company’s technical and industrial identity
Our involvement can take different forms.
WHY WORK WITH US
We do not offer standard solutions or superficial interventions.
We work with a limited number of companies, building relationships based on trust and continuity.
Our involvement allows for reduced uncertainty in product development, anticipating technical and production issues before they turn into costs or delays.
We act as a bridge between design vision and industrial reality, ensuring consistency between concept, engineering, and production processes.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We work with companies in the furniture and industrial design sectors that wish to structure their product development process, improve internal engineering, or approach new projects with greater methodological solidity.
We also collaborate with designers and studios that require qualified technical support for the industrialization of their projects.
We work with entrepreneurs and companies who:
- believe in the value of applied research
- want to invest consciously in product development
- are looking for a technical and design partner, not just a supplier
