Three Very Different Briefs. Three Delivered Outcomes.
The useful detail is not just what was built. It is how scale, accuracy, quantity, structure and handover were handled.

Case study 01
Devon Mill: Turning a Headquarters Into a Personal Corporate Gift
Hunter Price needed a one-off model that felt unmistakably connected to its headquarters and personal to the people receiving it.
- Part count
- 3,445
- Finished size
- 64 × 38.4 × 28.3 cm
- Personal detail
- Eight character lookalikes
The brief
Capture the character of Devon Mill as a display-worthy gift, while including recognisable details for the team.
The design response
The building’s proportions, façade, windows and roofline were translated into a stable model, with the people element built into the story.
The outcome
A substantial one-off centrepiece that turned the company’s headquarters and team into a recognisable, personal gift.
“INCREDIBLE!!! Most thoughtful gift I’ve ever had!”

Case study 02
Coffee Machine: A Recognisable Model Engineered for a 500-Set Event Run
A coffee franchise needed a branded giveaway that was compact enough for an event, distinctive enough to recognise and practical to produce at volume.
- Quantity
- 500 complete sets
- Format
- Compact, low part count
- Handover
- QR-linked digital instructions
The brief
Create a giveaway model that communicated “coffee machine” immediately without becoming too large or complex for a 500-unit run.
The design response
Pressure dials, group heads and cups carried the visual identity, while a controlled part count kept the experience suitable for event distribution.
The outcome
Five hundred complete sets were packed and ready for the event, with QR-linked instructions removing the need for a printed booklet in every pack.
Venue display · Dubai
Case study 03
Padel Player: Solving Structure, Pose and Branding at 1.8 Metres Tall
IO Padel Edition wanted an imposing player sculpture for its Dubai venue, with an athletic pose and its identity visibly integrated into the model.
- Height
- 1.8 metres
- Part count
- Approximately 12,000
- Destination
- Dubai sports hall
The brief
Build a full-height player in a convincing bent-leg pose, carrying a racket and wearing the venue’s branding.
The design response
The shoulder and base were reinforced, transparent supports stabilised the shoes, and the racket was kept light to limit pull on the arm.
The outcome
Installed at Padel Edition’s Dubai sports hall as a permanent branded focal point, with the IO logo built directly into the shirt.
Evidence from the work
Design Decisions That Survived Real-World Delivery.
Each project solved a practical constraint that could not be designed away.
- 01
Recognisable
The IO logo was built into the padel player’s shirt rather than applied as a sticker.
- 02
Structurally resolved
A reinforced shoulder, stable base and transparent supports made the 1.8-metre pose viable.
- 03
Repeatable
The coffee machine stayed compact and low-part-count for a 500-set production run.
- 04
Ready to use
Complete sets were packed for distribution with QR-linked digital instructions.
