Product innovation through creative design.
deSter
At deSter we consider product development an ongoing process of innovation, engineering and service design. We make it our job to keep up with the big picture, setting the pace on industry trends.
Our approach
Our design approach is based on 4 KEY PHASES, aiming to deliver balanced results through co-development.
Discover
Being aware of the real need is crucial before starting any development. We combine in-depth knowledge and industry experience with a passion for trends and technological innovation in order to be prepared for any challenge. Together with you we go for a thorough understanding of your market, operations and customer experience.
Define
By asking the right questions and defining a clear brief together, we work towards well-defined objectives and deliverables, resulting in the best food packaging solution.
Design
Our team welds content with functionality to create appealing products. We use advanced technologies to turn drawings into lifelike prototypes and aim for a perfect balance between look and feel, functionality, cost and environmental impact.
Deliver
During this phase, we translate the well -defined product concept into real products meeting the highest quality standards. Our global in-house production capabilities and knowledge enables us to be flexible and ensure a smooth introduction and delivery. We offer full customer support from initial design to final product supply and beyond.
deStudio
deStudio is our in-house multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers and product developers, all collaborating to construct future travel and foodservice products, enhanced services and production methodologies.
It is where inspiration is born, new trends are conceptualized and innovative products created. Whether it’s developing a new product line, revitalising an existing range, or helping our customers reach a competitive edge though innovative design, our talented and experienced team delivers on any creative or operational challenge.
Customer-centric product design
In order to deliver the best possible customer experience, we don’t limit ourselves to just designing aesthetically pleasing products, there’s also a decidedly functional aspect. How many portions will be served? Hot meals or cold? Which branded comfort items are complementary with your brand? How will the product design affect logistics, how will it be used by the consumer and of course it’s disposal stage. This knowledge and experience is something that we gladly share with our clients and it is this aspect which substantiates our claim to bring added value to any project.
An interconnected network of industry experts
We believe a collaborative and multidisciplinary development approach is the key to innovation. This is why we work together with industry experts such as trend watchers, Michelin star chefs, fashion designers and scientific researchers to name a few. This way we are able to provide our customers with innovative, future proof products and services that do not only deliver on today’s requirements but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow.
