Industrial design and UX for regulated systems – from early concept to series production.
Flagship Partnership
Long-term design partnerships with international technology and life science companies
Corpus Design works in long-standing design partnerships with internationally operating technology and life science companies. These collaborations are built on continuity, trust and a deep understanding of complex product portfolios.
Exclusive design partnership with a global life science leader
Corpus Design has been supporting Sartorius as its exclusive design partner for more than 16 years. During this period, nearly the entire product portfolio was developed and designed in close collaboration.
Between 2008 and 2024, Sartorius evolved from a technology company with around 3,000 employees into a globally leading life science group with more than 13,000 employees today. Corpus Design was responsible for the industrial product design across the full portfolio – from individual laboratory devices to scalable product platforms and consistent design systems.
The jointly developed products are used worldwide in laboratories, clinics and pharmaceutical production environments and continue to shape the brand’s visual identity to this day
Design partnership in laboratory automation and high-precision systems
In collaboration with Hamilton, Corpus Design developed industrial product design and UX for high-precision laboratory and automation systems. The focus was on functional clarity, ergonomic operation and modular device structures for demanding laboratory environments.
The resulting solutions support reproducible workflows, high process reliability and long-term series production for international markets.
Design partnership in medical device systems
In collaboration with Dräger, Corpus Design developed industrial product design for medical device systems. The design approach focused on functional clarity, ergonomic usability and safe, intuitive operation in clinical environments.
The resulting solutions meet the stringent regulatory requirements of medical technology and are designed for long-term use in clinical and medical application contexts.
Our approach to development and collaboration
Corpus Design works as an integrated development partner at the intersection of industrial design, UX and technical product development. Our core team consists of academically trained industrial designers with diverse professional backgrounds, enabling the transfer of knowledge and methods across industries to complex product challenges.
Depending on the project, we collaborate closely with specialized partners in engineering, development and manufacturing. By integrating seamlessly into existing development and product processes, we align design, function, UX, usability and technical requirements early on and consistently guide products toward series readiness.
UX and usability are understood as functional disciplines with a direct impact on safety, clarity and efficiency in real-world use. Our work is focused on feasibility, design-to-cost, regulatory requirements and long-term product strategies – from early concept development to international series production.
Good design is created in the middle of the brain
In the middle of the brain, the corpus callosum connects the rational and creative hemispheres. Corpusdesign is named after this connection because our design combines creative solutions with rational verifiability.
