At Dutch Deco Factory (DDF) we generally divide our products into different phases: Design, Create, Finish and in some cases also Logistics and Installation. Some clients seek for a turnkey partner and want us to deliver all phases, others for instance are only interested in a special finish. We are happy with both kind of customers.

Design

In this phase we translate the client’s briefing into one or more pre-design(s). Mostly these are 2D artist impressions/sketches and a outlined philosophy about the design. Once the customer has made a decision on the design direction, we than move forward to make the final creative design. This could be a 3D modelling of the ideas. To prepare for production in this phase we also engineer the project into every detail. After sign off by the client, this phase is at it’s end and we can move into the next phase.

Our experience and knowledge of producing and finishing object is of great value in the design phase. Our outstanding creative design team work in close collaboration with the DDF technical artists. This way we already tackle most unrealistic design impossibilities and are able to integrate the latest and fanciest techniques into the design.

Create
When the design is final we can start to bring the ideas to life and make it tangible. The techniques we use include, but are not limited to, 3D printing (FDM, SLA and SLS), robotic CNC milling, hand shaping and moulding. This all happens in our own workshop in The Netherlands. It’s worth mentioning that especially in this phase we are very keen on using as much sustainable production methods as we possibly can. We strongly believe that every contribution to less environmental pollution in order to achieve a better planet is essential. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is our motto!
