WELCOME TECA is a British Design and Innovation Company specialising in market targeted product design for the U.S. and Europe. Coming from a highly international and multicultural environment we work internationally to provide innovative product design for the markets we understand the best. APPROACH Successful global design requires true understanding of individual markets and cultures. We have a track record of successful products in Europe, North America, China and Japan and we know how to tailor our solutions to fit these different regions. Combining Engineering and Design in our own Structured Innovation Process we create solutions with maximum potential for unique approaches and patent opportunities. We believe products should be easy to use and easy to relate to. We try and impart these values in all our work, but also take account of the client's values and market environment. LOCATION We have Design Studios in the UK, Hong Kong and China and work internationally between all three locations. As well as offering world class European Design directly in China we have unique advantages for companies manufacturing products for the European market. From our UK headquarters we provide award winning design and can combine this seamlessly with engineering and production from our China office.. TEAM Andy James Lee is the company founder and has led TECA since its beginnings at the Royal College of Art in London nearly 15 years ago. Andy's vision is to create intuitive products with both efficient Form and Engineering. He leads all projects and is Hands-On in Asia and Europe. Dina Paulette Guth trained at the London Institute before specialising in Creative Industries Project Management. Dina now manages both the Hong Kong and China office and is responsible for projects internationally. With a mixed team of international designers and engineers in three locations we are able to offer a highly innovative and versatile design service with a track record of high volume sales and successful patented design innovation. OUR DESIGN PROCESS We pride ourselves on exploring and identifying new approaches and methods which are not to be found either in the market or patent files. Our Design work normally begins with a brief setting out the aims and objectives of a project and outlining certain targets and parameters for its completion. Our proposal will outline our understanding of the clients requirements before we begin. Research and opportunity mapping We begin most projects with a research study of market trends and relevant design references within the target market segment. This helps to define a design direction for the concept generation phase, additionally we can use this stage to help to identify market gap opportunities. Concept development The research phase normally leads directly into the generation of a wide range of design concepts either in 2D or 3D. Using idea generation techniques and structured concept development we explore a wide range of possible solutions to a problem and then together with the client choose the best solutions to develop further. Mechanical Engineering In this phase the concepts are modelled in 3D and the final level of detail is added to the design. Realistic renderings of the concepts are produced for presentation and solid model data is developed for the mechanical design stage. Detail design of each component and generation of 3D CAD files and engineering drawings are provided. Prototyping and manufacturing We can offer a full prototyping and product manufacturing service at very competitive costs due to our location in China. We are experienced in accompanying our clients through the manufacturing of the product. Design and engineering changes can even be made on location to best meet the manufacturing requirements and cut lead times. NEWS UK Design in China Our recent event 'UK Design in China' as part of the London Design Festival was a great success, thank you to all who took part in the workshops and panel talk and also to Creative Connexions and the TECAtech team. >>> Consumer Electronics Show For the first time selected Design companies from all over the world were invited to participate in the SinoCES exhibition in Qingdao.

	Portable DVD Player Working directly with manufacturers in China to provide products for the US and European markets has given us a greater understanding of how to get the best results and maintain design integrity throughout the product development process. Working closely with Chinese Manufacturer KXD for our client, a well know US Brand, we provided Industrial Design and Mechanical Design guidance to ensure our original concept immerged from the manufacture process. Controlling and guiding manufacturers and development houses up to the point of production can mean the difference between success and failure when the product meets the customer.

	Simple Remote Control Remote controls are often crammed with all sorts of functions that are never or very rarely used. An important part of our approach to designing any human interface is to reduce the complexity. In this example for a DVD recorder remote we studied the way the product was used and altered the design to prioritise the most popular functions and moved the less frequently used buttons to a hidden area of the remote for more advanced users. This approach has the added benefit that customers build a degree of confidence in the product before they make the purchase rather than being put off by complicated looking controls. We used simple block prototypes to refine the ergonomics quite early on in the design process ensuring the most popular buttons were the most comfortable to use.

	Wireless Ear Buds Working with wireless technology company Kleer, we have helped to develop the worlds first high quality wireless earbuds for MP3 players. The headphones just launched in the US provide better sound quality than Bluetooth but last three times longer due to lower power consumption. The headphones use a duel aerial system to eliminate the drop out problem common with Bluetooth headsets for phones. To allow a first-to-market entry level product the final design used a cable to connect the two ear phones together – this greatly reduced cost as only one IC and battery was needed.

	Home Theater system The fast moving market for consumer electronics requires a constant stream of new designs to keep pace with the competitors product offerings each season. We followed this range of home theatre DVD systems for two years updating the design and features in-line with the changing market position and price point.

	Digital Camera This high definition digital camcorder was designed to have a simple user interface and raise the price point to nearly twice that of the low definition model. Modern electronic components often fail to give a true impression of their worth, although capable of taking very high quality pictures the small lens unit inside the camera fails to convey this. Our approach for this model was to give greater emphasis to the lens, simplify the user interface and add value with materials and finishes but maintaining its compact size. As part of the development process we made many ergonomic study models to test various orientations of components and use

	Audio Visual Suite The Saturn audiovisual suite for Vivadi is a high-end TV and Hi-fi system. We worked with Vivadi to establish a future-proof design, extending the product lifecycle well beyond that of conventional consumer electronics. The solution for this product was to separate out the elements of the design that would be suitable for longer-term use and those that were likely to change within a much shorter time scale. The range of products for Vivadi all incorporate a similar philosophy ; include the best technology to date – but allow the electronics to be easily updated in the future. Removable modules which can be easily accessed and replaced by the user at home were used, as the technology changes or improves, only a small part of the product becomes outdated and there is no need to replace the whole system.

	Internet Radio We developed a range of internet radios for a large US brand, the brief was to develop different designs for specific user groups identified by the companies user feed back research. We demonstrated how a signle design approach could be altered for each target group to provide a family of related solutions with a common aesthetic and interface.

	Mobile Phone Our recent mobile phone design has been focusing on the future needs of mobile users, adaptable applications, anti-theft design and a new look at how applications work.

	Medical Filter Smiths Medical is a market leader in anaesthesia and critical care, working with Smiths this project was an in-depth research and innovation study over a fourteen month period to integrate two important components in a hospital breathing system into one new patented product. By eliminating one of the components used in intensive care and surgery breathing systems large cost savings can be made for healthcare organisations and reduced dead-space and risk of disconnection benefit the patient. This project working directly with Smiths internal staff involved prototyping, testing and full risk analysis as well as patent research and filing.

	Fluid Drainage Tap Developed for SIMS Portex this urostomy drainage tap is designed for patients who have suffered from cancer of the bladder. After surgery a bag is used to collect fluid and patients release the fluid themselves every day. When dealing with such a personal and private matter a great deal of care needs to be taken to ensure the device works without fault and that the patients own concerns and recommendations are taken into account. Following research we improved the design for easy single handed use and added an adapter so male users could use an extra flexible tube when standing at a urinal. The design also reduced the number of parts used to two simple mouldings.

	Car Cleaning Brush Working with a large household products manufacturer, we developed an innovative new system for mixing detergent and water in this brush design. Designed for cleaning alloy car wheels this brush connects to a hose pipe and delivers a measured amount of detergent into the water stream discharged from the head. Our challenge was to create a leak-proof pressure vessel with the smallest possible number of parts.

	Cycle Tool We worked together with Minoura to revitalise and innovate within their existing range of bicycle repair tools. Following benchmark analysis of competitive products we identified the key selling features and better understood the trend of this market segment. We were then able to reassess the way the product worked and how it was used. This resulted in the end product having new features and a radical new look together with a good understanding of how it would actually be received in the market place.

	Cycle Trailor This patented cycle trailer is an in house project aimed at solving some of the problems of inner city transport. As bicycles are increasingly taking a more important role as an environmentally beneficial alternative to cars some of the limitations of cycling such as how to carry things becomes more apparent. Our in-house brief was to find a folding structure that could be used to carry a load by hand and then easily attach to a bicycle.

	Snowboard attachment The Snowbone is a patented snowboarding product that attaches to a snowboard to allow the user to ride the board like a scooter. Working with the inventor, we helped to prototype, test and develop the idea for manufacture. The patented method of attachment allows the snow board to flex and bend so the rider can steer and control the board. The snowbone fills several market gaps: affordable equipment for the first timer, user friendly equipment for the beginner and a cross over between BMX and snowboarding for the youth or the more adventurous.

	TECA Concept Vehicle TECA is a 'Microvehicle' concept aimed at improving the safety, convenience and efficiency of two-wheeled travel. The Aerodynamic shape should give performance improvements of around 35% and save fuel as well! The structure is a 'monocoque' (ie. the structural frame is on the outside) made from carbon fibre composite and honeycomb. It is light in weight and very strong. The outside structure will protect the occupant even when the bike is sliding down the road on its side. Why do 45% of people in London travel to work in a car and only 1% use a motorbike? Why are there no light weight efficient ‘micro-vehicles’ on the market today? Why can’t lightweight efficient transport be safe as well? Today’s problems of fuel shortages and environmental pollution issues are apparent to us all. Cars are, of course, a major contributor to global emissions and often a very inefficient way of using our limited fossil fuels, the technology needed to improve fuel efficiency and provide safe and enjoyable transport is already available. The key to increasing the efficiency of a vehicle is to reduce the weight and improve the aerodynamics. With the use of modern composites, TECA provides a safe, comfortable and fun vehicle that goes faster and costs less to run. It also maintains the key benefits offered by two wheels such as beating the traffic-jams and parking.

PRISM London, Eyewear Case - September 2009 PRISM Eyewear has just launched its new range of glasses which can be seen here, featuring a unique crystalline case made by TECAtech. We worked together with top London packaging designers SabotagePKG who developed the concept of a translucent case with real 'prism' qualities to show off the stylish range of glasses. The PRISM case uses a new plastic developed by DuPont which is both highly transparent and flexible so ideal for protecting glasses. TECAtech designed the case for manufacture and overcame many technical issues to perfect the complicated triangular shape.



IFA Consumer Electronics Fair Berlin- September 2009 IFA is the world's largest Consumer Electronics trade fair, the most important international exhibition for electronic products. This year saw the launch of our new TITAN remote control range for Vivanco. The TITAN 2000 series universal remote control is designed to be as user friendly and comfortable to use as possible.

China overtook Italy as the largest furniture exporter in 2005 and the purpose of this exhibition was to raise awareness of the UK design expertise among Chinese furniture manufacturers.



International Design Seminar Victoria & Albert Museum, London – February 2009 We were asked to present at a seminar aimed at design consultancies working in the arenas of branding, commercial interiors, product design, digital design and packaging that are looking to expand their business and clients outside the UK. The event was attended by many of the UK's leading design companies and organisations. As part of our presentation we talked about the results of our UK-China workshops and in particular advice on collaborating with Chinese companies and designers.


The First China Youth Crossover Creative Competition – Tecatech judging the next generation of designers The next generation of young designer stars were competing on the first ‘cross over’ design competition sponsored by SINA, one of China’s most popular websites. Young designers from all over China were invited to take part in the first youth crossover creative competition and submitted more than 3000 pieces of work. The pressure was on with an award of 100 000 RMB for the winner at stake. TECATECH - the first UK design company with a permanent presence in China - was chosen to analyze the work from an international perspective and judge from their outstanding experience within the field of Product Design. Judge Dina Guth from TECATECH was looking at the work alongside famous representatives of the Music, Dance, Movie and Graphic Design industry such as Yim Gum Tim, Sun Zhou, Yang Hui Lan and many more. Shen Chen & Zhang Meng Lun secured the top prize with their work ”Here it is!” for the most original and creative work out of the strong body of entrants. The first price was given to a collage movie which convinced through originality and expression combined with refined and detailed visual language. The award attracted designers from over 21 provinces of China. They traveled to attend the elaborate winning ceremony which was held at Gunagzhou’s White goose Tam bar in Xin Yi Square. The aim of the competition is to assist in the advancement of the practice and development of creativity in China and most importantly to encourage originality and creativity amongst young designers. This years titles were ‘creativity’ and ‘break through’ and embraced contributions from different creative practices such as film, animation, illustration, photography, advertising, graphic design, poetry, packaging and much more. For the coming year the organizers have expressed an interest to stretch the contribution field and encourage work from areas such as fashion, sculpture, and installation art, performance art… This award really emphasis the need to push outside the boundaries and enhance creative thinking and new approaches within young Chinese talent. The judges were evaluating the cross between art and advertising of the young people’s work and emphasized that the work should be new and not just a different application of something already existing. ‘Surprisingly many of the works were comparable to an international standard and communicated to a world-wide audience incorporating strong Chinese cultural elements’ said Judge Dina Guth the business director of Tecatech. This year’s winning entries are on display on the http://www.creative.vic.sina.com.cn website and exposed to more discussion.
