Charlwood Design

Charlwood Design is an industrial design, product design and product engineering consultancy in Melbourne, founded in 1993 by director and principal designer Paul Charlwood. The practice develops products for the consumer, medical, electronic and technology industries, taking them from concept through engineering to manufacture, and develops brands by immersing itself in the trends and desires of the people it designs for.

The office combines a design and prototyping studio, a workshop and an exhibition gallery, and was an early adopter of digital design and rapid prototyping. Its work has won Australian and international awards, including the Premier’s Prize for Industrial Design twice, an honour no other practice holds, and Charlwood is a Registered Research Agency with the Australian Government, providing R&D services to industry.
