studioFAR Information

studioFAR is a product development studio specializing in soft goods systems for technical products. We work with hardware startups and product teams to design and engineer manufacturable products — particularly where textiles integrate with electronics, structure, and performance requirements. Our work spans the full development process from concept through production, with a focus on: • Soft goods system design and product architecture • Integration of textiles with electronics and rigid components • Construction strategy, materials, and durability • Prototype development and sampling • Design for manufacturing (DFM) • Factory integration and production support We are most effective on projects involving: • Wearable and smart products • Hybrid hardware systems • Load-bearing or performance equipment • Travel and carry systems • Products requiring overseas manufacturing Soft goods are often treated as styling — but in technical products, they directly impact performance, cost, and manufacturability. We focus on developing systems that work in real-world use and scale into production. studioFAR has supported product development for startups and companies including Google, Pelican, Chrome Industries, Kulkea, BlinkJoy, CampoVans, Kineon, Sensor Concepts, SleepNumber, Myokore, Comia, Sequel, and early-stage hardware startups bringing new products to market. If you're developing a product involving soft goods, feel free to get in touch.
