The Idea Factory provides services focused on transforming the corporate innovation process, taking into account the velocity required to thrive in the New Corporate Eco-system. Our unique products and services have been thoroughly developed, tested and refined during the past three years with over two dozen of the world's most significant companies. In our workshops, we weave together talent, ideas and facilities to enable participant involvement and foster innovative solutions focused on a particular task, project or strategy. Workshops serve to raise awareness within the client and can serve as a catalyst for change, usually applied for client's strategy sessions. We also serve as an outsourced innovation department, creating a blueprint for new business ventures built around a customer-centric vision of the future.
Artisan Design was founded in summer 1991 and incorporated in 1994 by Laura and Sheldon Padawer. The first stand - the original Gazelle was built for Laura based on architectural engineering and ergonomic properties to eliminate back pain and eyestrain while cofortably seated in a workspace microenvironment. We sold over four hundred Gazelles before the end of 1992. Over sales of frames have grown annually as we added the Lokscroll Scroll Frame,the Ergo ReclinerCompatible Floorstand, and the Elan Tabletop Lapstand. New methods and equipment have allowed us to continue what was once a 8 person shop into a two person operation.
