DN is a multi disciplinary design agency helping companies around the world develop and design the products, strategies and graphics of tomorrow.
Double Value Design
DN is an international design consultancy with offices in Denmark and Taiwan.
To give you and your company significant international results we use a concept called Double Value Design. We call it that because from DN you get the value of unique design and also real business values.
In Double Value Design we apply proper business strategies and research - and deliver these through our award-winning design work. Thus business strategies are made visible and delivered as directly useable solutions - in substance. Your success becomes our success.
Even greater value lies in working together as long-term partners, building a creative and inventive business network with you.
The theme of double value applies also to our combining the best of the east and west. Through understanding the cultures and thought of your customers and export markets, DN is uniquely able to provide you with real growth by developing products and services that have genuine user appeal.

Strategic Design
Getting the right product - with the right technology - at the right price - to the right market
User Driven Innovation
Using real customer needs to create products and services tuned to the market
Rapid Commercialisation
A fast-track way of getting innovation and new designs onto the market
Strategic design
DN's motto of Double Value Design is very much at the centre of our Strategic Design skills. Helping your company to get the right product - with the right technology - at the right price - to the right market is the core of our strategic skills.
We work a lot with the methods of Blue Ocean Strategy and assist you in applying them directly to new innovative markets with products or services that set you clearly in front of your competitors. The picture above is actually very descriptive of our strategic philosophy.
User Driven Innovation
Are your products what the user really wants - or do they just imitate the competitors' features? Huge advances can be made by using User-Driven Innovation [UDI] as a central method in creating a product portfolio which is tuned to the market and real customer needs - at the right prices and quality.
The meeting with real users and their sometimes passionate desciptions of ideas, habits and solutions are often extremely beneficial for the creative process.
DN is now one of Denmark's leading providers of UDI skills. Taking the user into consideration has always be an important part of design. But beyond that, DN has participated in government research and development programmes in UDI and has honed our skills through many live commercial projects for companies large and small. DSB, the influential national Danish Rail company, to lesser known industrial firms like Q-Transport to the renowned Procare International in Taiwan have all benefited from DN's user skills.
Rapid Commercialisation
A fast-track way of getting innovation and new designs onto the market as quickly as possible and at the right global quality.
For both companies in Europe and Asia Pacific we offer a range of skills and services that bring your products and service to the marketplace quickly and at an internationally top quality.
For Asia Pacific companies we can fast-track really innovative engineering and design by using our European professionals who are more cultured in thinking out of the box. Asian OEM engineering is often slow in creating innovative solutions
European companies benefit directly from DN's manufacturing and global reach skills through our Asia Pacific partners to cut time to market and enjoy cost reductions through wider sales channels.
Collaboration | Working Together
Design Consultancy
Most DN clients use us as their overall design consultancy. With an attractive combination of world-renowned Scandinavian skills and global export experience, DN is an ideal adviser and consultant for companies large and small. From innovative front-runners to consolidated corporations. We bring fresh thinking and skills-based excitingly new solutions.
Our clear goal is to foster long term relationships with our client companies. Often these partnerships run for many years and through a multitude of projects as each step of DN design adds additional profits to the client's bottom-line. On top of that, we compete successfully on a world market where design fees can be sharply competitive. So our enduring presence shows that you get great value from DN.
In our Design Consultancy role, we work step by step in phases going from research and concept generation through design development and refinement to prototypes and graphics and product launch. At the start of the project you receive a detailed quotation of the projected work with proposals on how the work will be arranged. Normally each phase is invoiced individually.
Venture Design
Have you ever wished for a way of creatively using strategic skills, export knowledge and top design methods without being restricted at the outset by tight development budgets? Venture Design is the solution. Venture Design™ is similar to venture capital but instead of investing financial value, DN invests our strategic skills, international experience and proven design in your products.
Venture Design™ is a new DN service where innovation and design are carried out at low cost up-front for the client. Payment is made to DN when the products are actually sold. Real Win|Win - DN's fees are linked to the success of the products sales. So we go really far to ensure success because DN shares in the responsibility of making the projects a commercial success. There is no upper limit on our investment of skills and time in Venture Design™. The greater the success on the market, the bigger income there is for your company and DN.
More for Less - Innovation and development cost relatively less because your new higher value products will actually be greater income earners. DN's track record shows that our products sell better and are have a much longer market life than average. Innovation and design become an investment which should be used creatively– not a cost that should be limited and starved by restricted budgets.
