We've been
thinking differently
for over 40 years

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
We connect multiple disciplines seamlessly
To manage ideas, to crystallise them and move them from the barely tangible to a final product that is effective, tested, profitable, durable, human, sustainable and inspiring requires many contributors and experience. We happily sit in the centre of this gritty constellation, allowing our clients and their technologies the room to develop appropriate solutions that connect with the people that will use them.
We innovate
as a team
As an enthusiastic flexible group of trained industrial designers, engineers and specialists, we collaborate easily together and work with our clients to create real solutions. This is effective and prevents an exclusive, rigid ‘over the fence’ approach to product development.
Over 90% of the products we
design go into production
Whether you need production quantities of 10 per year or 1 million, as tiny parts or large structures, we demonstrate vast experience of manufacturing techniques to suit.
We've been doing
this for decades
LA Design, formally London Associates, can trace foundation roots and its user-centred design values back to 1960, where consultants London and Upjohn created and promoted iconic design, nearly 60 years ago.
