Over 100 awards, one team, every discipline.

At Outerspace, we’ve turned 30 years of designing products across multiple global industries into a workflow that amplifies creativity, welcomes collaboration, navigates complexity and provides clarity every step of the way.

Our 4C’s is how we consistently outperform and outdeliver larger, less agile firms.

Not an operating plan that simply manages activity, but a living, practical and dynamic philosophy that connects the purpose of the business to the work required to bring that ambition to life.

01 — Clarity

Understand the problem before building the solution.

02 — Capability

The right minds and skills under one roof.

03 — Creativity

Unexpected solutions through rigorous thinking

04 — Collaboration

Operating as an extension of your business

From first sketch to full production

Our five-stage development process

Phase 1

Feasibility (POC) / Strategy & Concept

We define system architecture, test core principles on non-integrated rigs and model early COGS. CMF research, concept designs, and 3D-printed form studies resolve ergonomics, scale and brand fit across two or three concept directions.

Phase 2

Concept demonstration (CDP)

Partially integrated units reach the bench: looks similar, works similar. We refine internal layouts, draft the first BOM and shape an enclosure around COTS electronics without compromising design intent.

Phase 3

Design and development (Alpha)

Alpha units look like and work like the final product, ready for field trials. Suppliers begin DFM reviews while we lock the form factor in manufacturable CAD.

Phase 4

Design transfer to tooling (Beta)

Tooled, production-like units go into verification, reliability and user trials. We close out drawings and COGS, and check every unit against the CMF standard set at CDP.

Phase 5

Production (MP)

We support the pilot ramp and supplier QA, deliver the full production pack, and verify that what comes off the line matches the finish we defined

How We Build Products That Ship

We've won Good Design Awards in 2025 for Arc by Varivac and Dogloc, Gold in 2021 for wheezo, Zygo and Okti, and Best in Class for the Presto salon hairbrush cleaner. Beyond Good Design, we've picked up over 100 local and global awards, including iF, Red Dot and the Victorian Premier's Design Awards. None of that happens by accident, it happens because research, design and engineering run in the same building, on the same problem, at the same time.
