CMF strategy
A written signature for your portfolio: how colour, material and finish differentiate flagship, professional and service tiers.
Services
Specifications a tool shop can act on
Each engagement is scoped to a programme, not to a retainer. We take on a defined surface problem, resolve it against real manufacturing constraints, and hand over documentation your suppliers can build to.
Palette architecture
Core and accent colours defined per substrate with ΔE tolerances, metamerism checks and lighting conditions stated.
Texture development
Etch depth, MT and VDI grades, laser texture files and physical plaques agreed with your tool shop before cutting.
Coating qualification
Soft-touch, PVD, anodising and UV-cure systems tested for abrasion, IPA and disinfectant wipe, sweat and salt fog.
Regulatory-aware specification
Biocompatibility, flame, smoke and toxicity constraints handled up front for medical and cabin-interior programmes.
Production hand-off
Master samples, boundary limits and supplier training so first-article approval matches the studio standard.
Engagement shapes
Three ways to start
- Surface audit — 3 weeks. A review of one existing product family with a prioritised list of CMF corrections.
- Programme CMF — 10 to 16 weeks. Full development from sensory audit to signed master samples for a single product.
- Portfolio system — ongoing. A shared colour and finish language across generations, maintained as suppliers change.
