Locus Research
Locus Research is a design company with fresh ideas on design and research. We operate in the four broad areas of Design, Applied Research, Sustainability, and Manufacturing.
In the four years since Locus was started we have built a reputation for deep research, original design and effective implementation. Our approach to sustainability has been pragmatic and practical, we simply aim to address these issues on a daily basis for both ourselves and our clients benefit.
This is achieved with simple design strategies, through to more advanced analysis using life cycle assessment and systemic analysis. As a team we have an overarching commitment to sustainable product design (SPD) from research into SPD through to commercial applications of the products that we design.
Our focus has been on research and development rather than just design; we drive to deliver a basic point of difference by using research to build a platform for product development and engineering. We believe in the strategic use of design on a short, medium and long term basis.
Locus has a client base that extends from New Zealand to the UK and has an informed international outlook.
