About Us

We are a product design company that launches approximately 5 products per year, focused on unique, functional, and beautiful household items. We are looking for a talented designer or a team of designers to collaborate with us, not just for a single product but potentially for a long-term partnership.

Project Overview

We are designing a wooden spatula for the American and Canadian markets. Our goal is to create differentiated designs that stand out in the crowded kitchenware space.

Current Concept

We have already developed an idea that includes:

A small spoon-rest wood support that can hold up to 3 spatulas at the same time, enhancing usability in the kitchen.

A distinctive design touch at the end of each spatula, giving it a unique style and personality.

While we are excited about these concepts, we believe there’s room for further innovation and differentiation.

Contest Goals

We are looking for:

Final mold-ready 3D files for production based on our current design.

New ideas and approaches to make the product even more distinctive in the market.

Differentiation is key! We want designs that stand out on Amazon and appeal to our target audience.

Trying to understand your comment ‘mold ready’. Molding indicates plastic material but you want a wooden spoon? Can you clarify?

Thanks

Mompreneur needs 3D Drawings to rid the world of boring highchairs!
Our mission is to rid the world of boring highchairs & messy cleanups, one meal at a time! I need 3D drawings of two different styles of placemats that will custom fit the world’s most popular high chair – the IKEA Antilop high chair. They’ll be made from silicone FDA approved food-grade silicone. The drawings will assist with create product moulds in China. See attached file for dimensions - although I'd prefer to work with someone who has this exact high chair in their home (as it's difficult to communicate dimensions of edges and corners). Would also like to letterpress logo into design (see attached for example).
Pot plate
Looking for nice design and shape for a flat metal surface that can rest on top of a slow cooker with space for the top handle. See attached picture below, of a slow cooker pot. It may need to look similar to a graduation hat, so the bottom can fit over the handle that pops up in the middle but the top will be flat.
New Pizza Slicer
we have created a new pizza slicer. This is a base wood board like a bread board with aa attached wire frame slicer which will cut the pizza into 8 slices like a cheese slicer. I attach a drawing of the product and require a realistic picture of the product which we can use to do some further market research to receive comments on the product and registration for future information on the product when launched. This is a very small project which should require no more that 2 hours drawing. Hopefully there will be further projects as the product is fianlised and produced.
Rule 406
Rule 406 is simple, if it exists, you can drink from it! Every object can be made into a container that can hold drinks and by every object, we mean EVERY object. If you can think about it, we can make it! We exist to make custom drink-wares for parties and themed events. This campaign is about nailing down a brand design that can be recognizable with all our products. Here is what we want: 1. Big object design: We've attached a picture of a Lamborghini Aventador, we want you to design a life sized plastic model (Preferably transparent) that will be filled with beer and have several outlets to get drinks out. 2. Small object design: We've attached a picture of a beats headset, we want you to design a life size plastic model (Preferably transparent) that one can drink from (Doesnt need to be wireless). Once we love your design, we will continue to work with you for up to 25 additional models and a solid logo.
3D Printer Design
We are an early stage 3D printing startup looking for a concept to use in our pitch deck. There will likely be continued work opportunities with the winner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style: Sleek and minimalistic. No screen, just a power button. You can go for an ultra-modern design (apple) or a retro-futuristic 50's design (Jetson's TV show). Use the color scheme in the attached company logo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dimensions: **Print area must be 300mm wide by 200mm deep by 200 mm tall. **There needs to be an extra .02 cubic meters of room for electronics and other components either beneath the print area or behind it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other: **The front, right, and left sides should be all or mostly gray acrylic glass. Everything else should be solid. (leave the top 70mm solid to hide the extruder and motors) **Modeling motors and extruder is not necessary! **The print bed must move up and down so it needs one screw and two guiding rods behind it. (see attached picture) **Include the company logo somewhere on the printer.
