Office for Product Design

Office for Product Design is the studio of Nicol Boyd, formed in Hong Kong in 2007 with Tomas Rosen after the two met at the Royal College of Art. They worked together until 2022, when the office became Boyd’s personal practice, now based in Taipei with a limited presence in Hong Kong.

The studio designs homeware, consumer electronics, furniture and lighting for start-ups and multinational brands, splitting its output between exploratory studio projects, some produced through the self-production platform OOO, and consultancy work for clients’ own design teams. Objects such as the Porto cookware and the Book Light have earned an iF Gold Award, a Good Design Award, Red Dot and the German Design Award. Boyd, born in Glasgow in 1976, worked at Alessi, IDEO and Nokia before founding the office.
