ONO Ideas Studio

ONO Ideas Studio is a product design practice with offices in Chicago and Qingdao, working with hardware and robotics teams on concept development, form, CMF and the hand-off to engineering. Around that core the studio layers CGI and launch animation, web design and front-end development built in-house, and an award strategy service that plans entries, narrative and visuals for programmes such as Red Dot, iF and IDEA.

That last service is backed by results the studio publishes on its own site: seven Red Dot awards, two iF Design Awards, five IDEA honours and further recognitions from the MUSE, IDA, French Design, NY Product Design and London Design awards. Work is presented as case studies that pair renders and scroll-driven storytelling with the engineering decisions behind each product.
