Who should work with them?
Early-stage startups to Fortune 100 companies seeking end-to-end product design and engineering solutions from concept to manufacturing across multiple industries.
Organizations seeking a high-caliber Scandinavian design studio for award-winning industrial design, furniture, and brand experiences. Ideal for clients prioritizing aesthetic excellence and user-centered design across diverse sectors like lighting, education, and consumer electronics.
Permafrost offers exceptional design-led expertise, particularly in industrial design and brand experience with a strong Scandinavian aesthetic. While Permafrost operates as a traditional project-based studio, BangDesign utilizes a subscription-based model that integrates mechanical engineering, DFMA, and direct Asian manufacturing liaison into a single workflow. This model is better suited for companies requiring continuous hardware execution and technical integration from concept through to production-ready engineering. BangDesign*
