Another step in our sustainability journey.

We recently joined other local businesses to receive our Green Mark certification, recognising the work we've been doing to understand and improve the environmental impact of our own business.

For us, already being B Corp certified this certification just adds to our sustainable credentials. It's a way of making sure we're looking at what we do, measuring where we can, and identifying where we can improve.

As a product design consultancy, we also recognise that sustainability can't stop at our own office door.

The decisions made during product development can have a much bigger impact, from materials and manufacturing through to longevity, repair, reuse and end of life.

That's one of the reasons we've continued to develop the Design Compass, helping designers and businesses consider environmental and social responsibility alongside user needs and commercial viability..

Thanks to everyone involved including and all the support from the team in helping all the local businesses involved take practical steps towards more sustainable ways of working.

Last Chance: Put your product under the microscope.

If you've been sitting on a product idea, wondering what you should do next, this is your last chance to put your product under the microscope and join us for the Design Compass Deep Dive.

📅 21 September 13.30-15.30
📍 British Library Business & IP Centre
👥 Small group: Maximum 9 people

Bring your idea.

Bring your prototype.

Bring the question that's been keeping you stuck.

We'll spend the session challenging the thinking, identifying the important decisions and helping you work out what comes next.

You don't need to have a finished product.

You don't even need to have all the answers.

That's why we're doing this.

🎟️ Book your place here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/design-compass-deep-dive-expert-design-advice-on-your-project-tickets-1998543609736?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true

It still solves the problem.

Some products are designed to be different.

Others are designed to make something better.

Colandish was designed to solve a very simple problem: how do you drain, carry and serve food without needing another bowl?

The answer was to rethink the humble colander.

The result combines straining and serving in one simple product, reducing steps, reducing washing up and making the transition from sink to table effortless.
But perhaps the real test of good design isn't how clever it looks on launch day.

It's whether it still makes sense years later.
Colandish has continued to do exactly what it was designed to do. The form is distinctive, but every curve, line and detail has a job to do.

For us, that's what good product design is about.

Not designing for the sake of design.

Solving a real problem, beautifully, and simply.

What happens in the deep dive
This is a little different from a traditional workshop.

We're not going to spend two hours telling you how to design products.
We're going to spend the time looking at yours.

If you're developing an invention, product or hardware start-up, bring along your idea, prototype or current challenge.

We'll bring our expertise, use the Design Compass to go deeper and challenge your thinking and help identify:
• What you should be thinking about
• What you might have missed
• Where the risks are
• What needs testing
• Where to focus your effort
• What your next step could be

The session is limited to 9 people so that there is enough time for individual projects.

📅 21 September 13.30-15.30
📍 British Library Business & IP Centre

From Prototype To Product
What does it take to turn a clever mechanism into a product people actually want?

For Le Shuffler, it meant taking an already-developed core mechanism and pushing it further, creating a product that was not only desirable, but commercially viable, environmentally responsible and ready for market.

We loved working with the Le Shuffler team to bring their idea to life.
“Working with Bang Creations has been transformational for Le Shuffler.”

Got a great idea? Are you ready to be challenged?
You don't need another opinion. You need to be presented with the right design challenges.

Sometimes you don't need someone to tell you your idea is brilliant.
You need someone to work through it with you.

That's one of the things we've learnt from more than 25 years of developing products at Bang.

We really need to get to the heart of the problem and specify the design challenges that need to be overcome.

Some of the questions we will ask are;
- Who is it for?
- What problem does it really solve?
-Can it be made at the right price?
Can it be made at the right price?
-What assumptions are you making?
What assumptions are you making?
- What should you test before investing further?

That's the thinking behind our Design Compass Deep Dive.
On 21 September, a maximum of nine people will bring their own projects to the British Library and work through the challenges with an experienced product designer.
You'll leave with better questions, clearer priorities and a better understanding of your next move.
If you've been sitting on an idea wondering whether it's ready for the next step, this is for you.

A hands-on session to test your product idea and map your route to market.

Many businesses have excellent customer service, but their brand and communication does not always convey that they do effectively enough.
So that’s exactly what we focused on with P*P.

Not just “making the website look better.”

But rebuilding the entire experience around clarity, trust, and usability.
Because when someone lands on your platform, they’re asking themselves 3 things immediately:

“Do they do what I need?”
“Do they do it well?”
“How quickly can I get what I need?”

We worked closely with P*P to redesign both the website and app experience so users could instantly understand the value, navigate confidently, and engage without friction.

Creating
• Clearer messaging
• Simpler structure
• More intuitive UX
• Cleaner UI
• Stronger engagement flow

The result: was a platform that doesn’t just look good but it performs, and the results since launch speak for themselves.

We’ve all used a website or app that instantly felt easy to trust and it’s no coincidence that the fastest-growing companies are the ones thinking beyond the tech and are focusing in on delighting their customers.
So are we.

Nominated!

It's always exciting to see products you've helped bring to life receive industry recognition.

We're delighted to hear that The Turning Tot Changing Mat has been shortlisted for the Absolutely Mama Awards 2026! 🏆

This project was a fantastic example of how great products are built through testing, iteration, and attention to detail.

Extensive testing with wriggling tots helped evaluate and refine the design, ensuring it worked in the real world for both parents and babies. Material selection was equally important, with the mat needing to be comfortable, durable, and easy to wipe clean for everyday hygiene.

Beyond the design and development, we worked closely with the founders to cost the product with manufacturers, navigate compliance testing with SGS, and support the journey all the way through to production and factory ordering.

Seeing the product now being recognised is a wonderful reward for all the hard work that went into bringing it to market.

Congratulations to The Turning Tot team, and good luck in the awards!

Good luck to everyone exhibiting at New Designers!

Over the years at Bang, we've had the pleasure of meeting and working with many design graduates. Some have joined our team, while others have been friends, family members, placement students, or collaborators starting out on their design journey.

For those exhibiting this year, enjoy every moment.

New Designers is a real rite of passage. It's an opportunity to showcase months (or years!) of hard work, receive valuable feedback, make industry connections, and build confidence in your work.

Not everyone will leave with a job offer and that's okay. The conversations you have, the people you meet, the inspiration you gain, and the exposure your work receives can be just as valuable. You never know which connection might lead to your next opportunity.

Best of luck to every designer exhibiting we hope it's the start of an exciting career.
