Product Design

At Gottlieb Paludan Architects, we see product design as a fundamental discipline that bridges form and function and enhances the experience of the physical environment. We believe that well-crafted design elements not only solve functional needs, but also add value to narratives and visions for both the building and its context.

With many years of experience in developing customised furniture for commercial functions, control rooms and holistic environments, we offer these services as an integral and natural part of our projects. Our approach ensures that designs are not only visually appealing, but also meaningful and user-friendly for everyone who interacts with them.

Design that rethinks and refines

When a design element is to be used repeatedly - whether it's urban furniture or control room handles - there is a particular need for precision and optimisation. At Gottlieb Paludan Architects, we see repetition as an opportunity to refine features and details to deliver maximum value for users, operators and the environment. Our design processes are based on careful analyses of user interactions and technical requirements to create solutions that are intuitive and durable. We combine technical innovation with Scandinavian design tradition. This means that we focus on the essentials, stripping away the superfluous to emphasise the core ideas. When developing products for repeated use, we focus on solutions that not only work, but also beautify their surroundings and support the architectural whole.
We choose careful and durable materials and develop solutions with minimal impact on the physical environment.

Our approach

For us, product design is about more than design. It's a process that balances the needs of the user, the functionality of the building and the character of the context. We always work with a holistic approach where design elements are an integral and natural part of the overall architectural concept. We always involve users, clients and partners in the design process to ensure solutions that fulfil both functional and aesthetic requirements. Through co-creation and early analyses, we gain a deep understanding of the project's potential and challenges. This method ensures that our solutions support desired functions and strengthen the visual expression of the project.
