Our Product Design Process: The Danetti Difference

When we design a product at Danetti, we always consider how the item will make customers feel once they bring it into their home – whether it’s a dining chair for a sociable kitchen, or a sofa for a busy family living room. For our designers, the key focus is what kind of senses will be evoked from the product, and what reaction people will have when they walk into the space and see it. We sat down with one of our Designers, Francesca to get a whistle-stop tour on what goes into the creative process for Danetti furniture.

It’s All In The Detail

Something that’s always considered when we start designing a product, no matter the season, is what the customer wants. Danetti Designer, Francesca says: “We really focus on the detail and materials used. We want every step of interacting with that product to be interesting, exciting, and well thought out. It also contributes to the longevity of a piece and for us, that goes hand-in-hand with the customer experience, providing the best in design.”

Finding That Inspiration

The creative process begins with the team compiling everything they’ve seen and felt inspired by, whether that be trends or looks. Francesca says: “I start the process by putting ideas and inspiration onto mood boards which helps us to build the look and feel for the season. From there, we work as a team to discuss and evaluate what we’ve seen and what we think is important to bring into the product family, making sure everything holds its place in the range and really brings something to the collection.”

Ticking All The Boxes

Sketching out concepts can take days as our team begins the creative process. Once a design has been established, there are other key elements to consider such as textures and finding the perfect palette. Francesca says: “We feedback on potential fabrics and colourings and anything else we feel may be missing, then at this final stage once the concept is complete, it’s sent over to our manufacturing partners to create a sample.  We set ourselves a checklist, making sure everything is covered on the product before we feel comfortable to develop and present it to our customers.”
