3P1 Case Study.
Blending Form and Function, Digital and Physical.
3P1 was approached to help blend a piece of electronic hardware with beautiful industrial design, so that the presence of the electronics, essentially disappeared. A Stainless-Steel body, and polished sheet of glass, determine the obelisk nature of the design, constructed from very few, yet precisely manufactured parts. Our design team has an inherent obsession to continuously simplify and improve each component for optimum aesthetic appeal, and production feasibility.

“It was essential to develop a form that exudes luxury”
Precision CNC machining, down to the nanometre level, helps to create a seamlessness between materials. The Stainless-Steel form is gently textured through the controlled blasting of microscopic beads, before dedicated regions are polished to a jewellery-like sheen, resulting in a striking contrast. It was essential to develop a form that exudes luxury, but also embodies strength and reliability in its users. Our vast materials and processing knowledge, affords us a holistic view to integrated product development.
