Four-Step Design Process
Through a collaborative and proven four-step design process, the PFISTER Industrial Design Team transforms inspiration to deliver a precise manifestation of design intent every time.The following outlines the four-step process:
1. Intent – Collaboration begins by reviewing architectural details of the project, renderings of guest rooms, or even rough paper sketches to define design intent.
2. Design – From sketch to digital renderings, the design team uses state-of-the-art equipment to develop the shape and form of the design. Based on original intent, the team will provide 10-12 faucets for review.
3. Engineer – From three selected design renderings, the engineering team will develop 3-D models integrating PFISTER proven valve technology to establish functionality. Ensuring the design intent is maintained throughout the entire process is the teams’ top priority.
4. Produce – Using cutting-edge 3-D printers, rapid prototypes are developed to confirm the scale and proportionality for final design selection. Once the final design is approved, the team converts the chosen design into working samples for mock-up rooms as needed, at no extra charge.
