When you observe the stars, the tiniest shake can get you lost. Just like observatories we need a solid foundation for you and ourselves to explore futures of interest. We start by establishing a clear understanding of your goals and motivations for the exploration. You are the expert for your business and we start building the foundation from what you know about its present and the influences shaping its futures.

As we have established a common ground, we scan for early signals and drivers of change. This opens up a design space which we explore further: through use-cases, short stories and hands-on research of new technologies and materials. By taking things from the abstract to the concrete, we discover new influences, create new contexts and find new possibilities.

Once we have identified the most promising spots to investigate, we make them real, here and now. We develop prototypes you can touch and interact with, ranging from material studies to cutting edge technological devices. But we won’t just hand you a thing from the future without the world around it. We create scenarios, presented as films, experiences, applications or text and create simulations to see how things play out differently when parameters change.

Now your journey starts. Our scenarios, simulations and prototypes are tools to probe futures, making them tangible, believable and evaluable. This framework stimulates new ideas and provides you with the ability to reify futures and future technologies by engaging with them. Whether this helps uncover pitfalls or results in more clarity about desired futures and the paths leading there – it will inform your decision making today.
