View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Tamotsu MatsumotoWhen you think about design, you may imagine drawing a picture, but our way of thinking regarding design differs greatly from that description..
Before we enter into the planning and development phase, we first do plenty of analysis, which includes basic research, trial manufacturing, verification experiments, as well as considering risks related to the creation of businesses, the start of the production process, as well administration of the product distribution. While developing, we progress through this process, which later makes a significant impact on the final product. This way, whether it is the visible or abstract parts of design, we strive for perfection from every possible angle, while involving all experts from their related departments. Also, the developing process sometimes changes depending on the business cooperation model or product in mind. Here at Form, we have practical experience and know-how regarding product development and handle the process with great care.
