Designing products and brands to improve the way we live, work and experience our world.

The Joseph Joseph compact level corkscrew: all the power of a full-sized lever corkscrew in a clever folding design.

Corkscrews are notoriously difficult to use products. The small and compact ones are generally much harder to use and can be especially tricky for people with weak or arthritic hands. The lever corkscrews on the market address this issue using mechanical advantage but are much bulkier products and difficult to store (drawer-catchers is a term often used for such products).

The Joseph Joseph compact lever corkscrew provides the mechanical advantage of a lever corkscrew in a compact form that collapses into itself to take up minimal space when not in use. Its simple design removes corks in one simple action using its non-stick screw thread, which glides smoothly into any cork. The corkscrew also features an integrated foil cutter, meaning you have everything you need to open a bottle in this one neat and tidy product.

The Chambers studio was approached by Joseph Joseph with a brief to come up with a hero product for their Barwise™ range, a bottle opener to match the lever giants on the market. We researched these competitors and found that many of the products were quite flawed and customers were frustrated by the storage space they required and awkward shape they came in. With this insight we developed the new solution with a collapsing lever, taking up less space when not in use and providing a much better customer experience.

Funded on Kickstarter in 2018, The Herston Desk Lamp is a beautifully designed self-balancing desk lamp, delicately engineered to allow smooth and effortless adjustment to any position.

The Herston Desk Lamp combines high performance technology with a classic modernist design aesthetic to create an heirloom quality lamp that meets the needs of today's world. Its unique form, founded on engineering principles, enables you to effortlessly adjust the light – whether it's for your desk, a table or beside your bed.

With its slim, refined body made from oak, brass and cast-iron, the Herston Desk Lamp is a modern yet timeless addition to any home or workspace.

With a longstanding passion for premium craftsmanship and products that stand the test of time, we set out to design this lamp as the inaugural product of our premium brand, Herston. The concept for the lamp was based on using natural materials to create a highly functional product, using a counterbalance mechanism at its engineering core. After much product development, design and engineering – we decided to pitch the product on crowdfunding website, Kickstarter. The lamp received resounding success, sold 4 times our funding goal and was featured in many design blogs and press.

Designing a vibrant and energetic digital brand to reflect the buzz that surrounds this exciting new crypto company.

HiP Interactive Property is a groundbreaking new company that aims to release the billions of pounds caught up in property equity around the world. Offering a fascinating new finance model, the company aims to convert the equity people already have in their homes to a currency they can trade with, invest or cash-in.

As a brand new company with a unique product to bring to market, HiP engaged us to help them communicate their complicated concept to the public. The brand was to convey the excitement that this opportunity brings with it, but also a sense of stability and professionalism. We're talking to people about their homes and the largest investment most people have, so it was very important we projected a brand people can trust but still get excited about.

After an initial research and design exploration phase where three potential directions were pitched to the client, we developed the selected design route into a website, magazine template and brand guidelines. This is just the beginning for this company, so it was important we gave them a brand they understand and the tools they need to roll it out over the next few years as the company grows.

Leading the design, UX and brand refresh for a prestigious British company, famous for its independence, creativity & integrity.

Faber Music is a prestigious company founded in 1965 by Benjamin Britten. Famous for its work with contemporary classic musicians, it has a legacy of producing everything from sheet music to licensing for some of the country and world's greatest musicians.

We were recently engaged to review the visual language being used to communicate the brand and how the customer experiences it, both online and offline. We ran workshops with internal teams, sketched out user journeys, applied the new design language across key pages within the site and defined the detailed spec required for a complete rollout.

Our work product on this project involved wireframes and web page designs, brand guidelines and a full (design) kit of parts to facilitate the build and any design needs moving forward. The new design is currently being rolled out so cannot be shared at this stage – but watch this space!

Helping one of the UK's most successful Kickstarters bring their product to market through engineering support.

The Chambers studio was engaged to provide engineering support to this London-based startup before and after their great Kickstarter success. We helped them develop their consumer product to be viable for manufacture on a mass scale and provided ongoing advice and support throughout their journey.

We love the entrepreneurial spirit that a platform like Kickstarter provides and firmly believe it can be the bounding board for great projects that might otherwise not see the light of day. We regularly advise people on their projects in this field and very much enjoy being part of this world.

Designing a new, streamlined packaging solution for a goggle product new to the market.

Speedo briefed us to develop and refine their concept for a sturdy packaging solution for their V-Class range of goggles that would allow customers to reuse the package as storage. The case was to meet the expected high standards of such a high quality brand whilst considering the environmental impact of materials and processes and use.

Detailed 3D CAD data was delivered to the client in a three week timeframe, enabling them to rapidly progress to the sourcing and production phase. The product as a whole went on to achieve the esteemed Red Dot award.
