1 Understand your market

The first step to creating adaptable consumer goods designs is to understand your market and its trends. You need to conduct thorough research and analysis of your target segment, their demographics, psychographics, behaviors, needs, wants, pain points, and aspirations. You also need to monitor the competitive landscape, the industry standards, the regulatory environment, and the social and cultural influences that affect your market. By understanding your market, you can identify the opportunities and challenges that your designs need to address, and the gaps and niches that you can fill with your unique value proposition.

there are iconic products that we define as evergreen that overcome the time factor, and are usually courageous projects, which do not follow the trend but define a new approach, we see examples of them in cars, furniture and products. While to create a product that adapts to the market it must have a concept of modularity and flexibility that can accommodate new features and technological innovations while maintaining the language of the brand unchanged

2 Embrace flexibility and modularity

The second step to creating adaptable consumer goods designs is to embrace flexibility and modularity in your design process and outcomes. Flexibility means that your designs can accommodate different scenarios, contexts, and user preferences without compromising on functionality, usability, or aesthetics. Modularity means that your designs can be composed of interchangeable, customizable, or upgradeable components that can extend the lifespan, utility, or appeal of your products. By embracing flexibility and modularity, you can create consumer goods designs that can adapt to changing user needs, preferences, and behaviors, as well as technological advancements and environmental factors.

I believe that it is strategic to think of a design vision, in order to achieve the design objective with a defined final construction time. When we know what the final vision will be, we will be able to define the steps of intervention with targeted design proposals that take into account flexibility and modularity. The platform that accommodates the product range/family must take into account whether there are multiple brands and therefore more aesthetics. Designing an industrial product must have flexible elements, both to provide for a design refresh in a given time and to customize for a brand that reflects a dedicated design language, Modularity allows us to design intelligently to change technological components, or to reduce costs.

3 Involve your users

The third step to creating adaptable consumer goods designs is to involve your users in your design process and outcomes. You need to engage your users in various stages of your design cycle, such as ideation, prototyping, testing, feedback, and iteration. You also need to enable your users to co-create, personalize, or modify your designs according to their own tastes, needs, or situations. By involving your users, you can create consumer goods designs that are user-centric, user-friendly, and user-driven, and that can foster loyalty, satisfaction, and advocacy among your customers.

The involvement of users can be interesting to collect the first feedback from innovative concepts, i.e. when the criticality of the novelty in a new sector context, the subsequent phases of design finishing in which we may need confirmation on the aesthetics, market research can help us but we must not expect the consumer to know what he wants

4 Collaborate with others

The fourth step to creating adaptable consumer goods designs is to collaborate with others in your design process and outcomes. You need to work with other designers, engineers, marketers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other stakeholders who can contribute to your design goals, objectives, and solutions. You also need to leverage the tools, platforms, and networks that can facilitate your design collaboration and communication, such as cloud-based software, online communities, or social media. By collaborating with others, you can create consumer goods designs that are multidisciplinary, multifunctional, and multichannel, and that can benefit from the diverse perspectives, expertise, and resources of your partners.

A good result is always the result of a team, building a work team that includes R&D, Design, Marketing, communication, procurement, all the functions involved that can define the project targets in line with expectations considering all points of view, also in this case the time factor is important for the definition of the correct actions, balancing costs and benefits in carrying out a complete project or perhaps apparently simpler but which meets the requirements of the consumer needs.

5 Learn from feedback and data

The fifth step to creating adaptable consumer goods designs is to learn from feedback and data in your design process and outcomes. You need to collect and analyze feedback and data from your users, customers, partners, and other sources that can provide you with valuable insights, opinions, and suggestions on your designs. You also need to apply and implement the feedback and data in your design improvements, enhancements, or innovations, as well as in your design decisions, strategies, or plans. By learning from feedback and data, you can create consumer goods designs that are evidence-based, data-driven, and feedback-oriented, and that can improve your design performance, quality, and impact.

6 Experiment and innovate

The sixth and final step to creating adaptable consumer goods designs is to experiment and innovate in your design process and outcomes. You need to explore and test new ideas, concepts, methods, materials, or technologies that can challenge, disrupt, or transform your design paradigms, assumptions, or conventions. You also need to embrace and learn from your failures, mistakes, or risks that can help you grow, evolve, or refine your design skills, knowledge, or vision. By experimenting and innovating, you can create consumer goods designs that are creative, original, and cutting-edge, and that can set you apart from your competitors and delight your customers.
