Varun Thaker Designs

bespoke products of all scales, from small products like a cabinet handle, medium alike a bespoke stainless steel kitchen sink to a large and highly complex furniture engineered piece. Being part of Vie Creative studio an interior and architecture firm and its in-house design team, I was involved in a unique, one-to-one service. I worked closely with each client and the project manager to bring our ideas to life. My main duties were the design of bespoke furniture, products and functional lighting. It was an interesting time and I was a bit spoil, since our clients opted for bolder custom-built designs and I always enjoy large budgets to work with. This served me as the perfect ground to be creative while making truly tailored spaces that combine perfectly luxury and functionality. My clients were design conscious and appreciated the fine detail on each of our solutions. However I was aware of costing and always kept a great quality cost ratio. My biggest achievement were furniture pieces that are going to be pass proudly generation after generation of our client's family. As a part of design team working for fashion and retail brand products like back packs and soft goods, sunglasses and merchandising my responsibilities as a Product Designer are spread throughout all stages of the design and development process. Starting from initial brief consideration and research, followed by in-depth market analysis and design language presentation with sketch proposals, through to development of the initial and final CAD DATA for the manufacture and tooling release, as well as managing off-tool samples feedback till the Pilot Tool Run and production. My versatile background allowing me to undertake unique approach for every project to communicate and highlight it's best individual opportunities and innovative vision. This whole exiting experience supported by my colleagues in team and other associates, where by liaising on a daily bases with factories we develop and engineer products ready for manufacture within strict deadlines and within required target costs, alongside Brand managers to ensure the best possible outcome of each project, working closely together to take best ideas into production.
