Design Process
Every one of the industrial design firms we sent the concept paper to
invited us in to chat – a reinforcement of the true potential for the
product (design firms get a lot of unsolicited concepts that they never
respond to).
We chose Artisent
(www.artisent.com)
because they had a vision that we liked, had experience with wheelchair and
furniture design and the chemistry with the founder/owner David Rogers was
encouraging. Artisent did a
quantity of biomechanical measurements and analyses, reviewed existing
ergonomic studies and did a number primary studies as well and devised
several innovative designs. We posted several on a web site and asked
viewers for feedback. We received a wide range of feedback, but on
balance it was positive. We even received a few orders - even though the
product didn’t exist yet!
Prototype and Production
Many designs
modifications and prototypes later, we had a final product design (for which
we have received a patent) that was ready to go to market. Our first small
batch sold out quickly to rave reviews. Based on customer feedback and with
input from Harvard Medical School physicians, other wellness providers and
engineers we continued to tweak the design and add models and accessories.
We are now using two Asian firms to manufacture our products, and they too
have added value to the product.
Future
We’ve received
substantial feedback from customers suffering from orthopedic problems,
obesity and other debilitating conditions that confirmed the value of the
Luvseat. To confirm this anecdotal evidence, we’ve asked leading
physicians from Harvard University and other clinicians to study our product
and make scientific conclusions about its benefits. To date, all of the
results have been positive After years of research, product testing, and a
tireless devotion to producing a quality product, we’re proud to present the
Luvseat as it exists today. Thousands of couples have purchased and
enjoyed it, and many have thanked us for bringing less painful love-making
back into their lives. It is our mission to invent and offer
“Innovations for Intimacy” for all intimate couples. Stay tuned!!
Best wishes and goodlovemaking
