Philips Design

Philips Design is one of the longest-established design organizations of its kind in the world. It is headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands, with eight branch studios in Europe, the USA and Asia Pacific. Its creative force of some 550 professionals – representing more than 30 nationalities – embraces disciplines as diverse as psychology, cultural sociology, anthropology and trend research, in addition to the more conventional design-related skills.

Philips Design’s people-centric design approach, known as High Design, is human-focused and research-based, and uses a deep understanding of people's needs as the starting point for the design process. It also provides the framework for taking these insights and translating them into imaginative yet feasible solutions.
