Industrial design at Outerspace bridges the gap between user needs, market demands and commercial strategy to deliver functional, manufacturable and desirable products that perform in the real world.
We design products people love and manufacturers can build. Grounded in usability and clear product design language, we shape form, interface and CMF to create intuitive, distinctive experiences. We bring ideas to life through product visualisation, CAD and physical models, communicating intent, exploring options and aligning teams early. Working closely with mechanical, electronics, firmware and systems engineers, as well as program managers, we ensure feasibility, reliability and a smooth path to production. We deliver validated prototypes, clear design intent, and visualisations and documentation ready for supplier and marketing engagement.

Outerspace supported the development of the award winning DOGLOC, the world’s first lockable leash and collar system.
Dog owners often need to tether their pets safely for short periods, whether stopping at a café, running an errand, or stepping away briefly in public. Traditional leashes and collars provide limited security, leaving dogs vulnerable to theft or accidental escape. Existing anti-theft solutions are typically secondary locks or add-ons, lacking integration and ease of use.
The challenge was to create a product that combined everyday usability with enhanced security, while ensuring durability, comfort for the dog, and a stylish aesthetic that appeals to modern pet owners.
A developer of interactive fitness equipment with integrated gaming software, needed to develop a new combination spin and exercise bike for the boutique gymnasium and home gym markets.
They wanted to develop a never-seen-before bike that had two distinct modes of operation – spin and exercise bike mode to be housed in one hardware system, operated by a touch screen and supported by their software.
Light My Bricks approached Outerspace to help expand beyond their maker-focused lighting accessories for LEGO®, with a goal of creating a consumer-friendly product range. The challenge was to design a system that was simple, safe, and intuitive, while still allowing flexibility and integration into LEGO® sets.
Outerspace’s task was to reimagine the electronics, usability, and product architecture to deliver a new Night Mode range — one that could bring lighting effects to LEGO® creations without the complexity of traditional wiring.
Okti is a wearable, high-density electro-encephalogram amplifier or EEG. Outerspace worked with neurological device manufacturer, Compumedics, to design Okti for rapid set up by a clinician, to analyse brain conditions while patients are mobile. Optimised for children, Okti provides crucial diagnosis of brain disorders to enable early and effective treatment.
Joybold set out to design an Urban electric bike for the American market, where cycling is rapidly gaining traction as cities adapt with new bike lanes and infrastructure. The challenge was to create a rugged yet sophisticated electric bicycle that could handle both daily urban commutes and weekend recreational rides.
Unlike many e-bikes that lean toward utilitarian or purely sporty aesthetics, Joybold wanted an iconic design that balanced functionality with style, appealing to commuters, families, and leisure riders alike. Outerspace was tasked with developing a product that would stand out while fitting seamlessly into the growing U.S. e-bike market.
Varivac set out to create ARC, a variable vacuum wound drainage pump designed for patients recovering from surgery. Unlike traditional hospital-based systems, ARC needed to be low-cost, compact, lightweight, and quiet enough for patients to comfortably use at home. The device also had to meet strict medical safety standards while giving patients more independence in their recovery.
Outerspace worked closely with Varivac to take on this challenge. Our multidisciplinary team provided design, engineering, and development expertise to transform the concept into a fully realized medical device, ready for safe, effective, and affordable use in both hospital and home environments. A unique algorithm was written to detect blockages and leakages from a single pressure sensor input only, in order to ensure high functionality with low cost.
