We are Fearless

Fearless.

The urge to be bold – especially when facing resistance. Our first core value is a reminder for us to never give in when new challenges arise. Fearlessness represents our passion for making valuable products. 

Playful.

The ability to explore – in search of better and more enjoyable solutions. Our second core value adresses the need for a methodology. Together with fearless passion, we need creative tools to learn and develop our ideas.

Responsible.

Embracing our responsibility as designers to solve real problems whilst striving to improve outcomes for a better planet and society. Our third core value reflects the need for a rigorous approach. To be fearless and playful gives us motive, adding responsibility creates true value.

We are

Industrial designers, engineers, user experience aficionados and business developers. Together we form the K8 design consultancy based in Oslo, Norway. We aim to create smart solutions improving life, work and society. This is what makes us fearless, playful and responsible!

History

Since 1998, K8 has provided design expertise in numerous contexts. From the early work with Stokke baby strollers which redefined urban child care, to the SunBell smart lamp and phone charger which gives lighting to millions of families in need. Today, K8 covers a wide range of services. We guide our clients through the complexities of developing their physical products, to implementing them on digital platforms. 

Sustainability

At K8, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) greatly informs our design process. We have a responsibility for developing sustainable products on many levels. We strive to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns by making products which endure long-term use (SDG goal 12). We not only care for the quality of manufacturing, but also the conditions in which they are made (SDG goal 9).

Clients

We work with many different clients and projects – from small startups to large corporations.

Awards

We are proud to have received recognition for the work we have carried out over 25 years, together with our clients.
