“Their designs fulfill needs that are culturally specific.” ICON magazine, August 2008
Industrial Facility was formed in 2002 to explore the junction between industrial design and the world around us. Our office designs objects of varying purpose in relation to their spatial, cultural and performative landscapes for international companies operating in international markets. Clients value our deeper contribution to their design and business thinking and often incorporate resultant project directions into their broader future. Areas of work include products, furniture, exhibitions, transportation and clothing. The office has emerged as one of the most progressive and creative design offices working in industrial design.

“Industrial Facility creates new identities for lost objects.” Wallpaper magazine, September 2008
Industrial Facility was formed by Sam Hecht and Kim Colin to investigate and contextualise objects so that their potential for progress is revealed. Our staff includes Japanese Designer Ippei Matsumoto, who joined the office soon after its formation; German Designer Philipp Von Lintel; and Studio Manager Petra Schmidt. Hecht and Colin have run teaching programs at the Royal College of Art. Hecht has been a Visiting Professor at HfG Karlsruhe and in 2009 he became a Royal Designer for Industry and nominated for the Prince Philip Prize. The office was given its fourth IF Hanover Gold Award in 2012 and won the Designs of the Year award for Furniture in 2011.

How We Work
“Industrial Facility is on our side – the side of the end-user. And boy do we need them.”
London Evening Standard, 2008
Working with Industrial Facility is straight forward. We work with international companies of all sizes in a wide ranging set of industries, from tableware & kitchen products to furniture and lighting, electronics and appliance design. Recently, we have also found ourselves tackling projects for interiors, public furniture, medical devices and exhibitions. All of our worldwide clients share a belief in making things better, which invariably helps to make life better too. To help to understand the structure of Industrial Facility and how we work, we have put together answers to ten common questions put to us.
