Not every product on Mavigadget starts at a kitchen table or workshop. A big portion of our catalog comes from product development labs—the places where industrial designers, engineers, and creatives turn ideas into physical reality.
Here’s what happens inside those labs and why we rely on them.
1. What a Product Lab Actually Does
A product lab is part studio, part workshop, part test facility. The teams inside:
-
Develop new product concepts
-
Explore materials and mechanisms
-
Build prototypes
-
Stress-test designs
-
Refine ergonomics and usability
They’re the “behind the curtain” part of the innovation world.
2. From Sketch to Prototype
A typical journey looks like this:
-
A problem or idea is defined.
-
Designers sketch multiple possible solutions.
-
The most promising concept becomes a 3D model.
-
Samples are printed or fabricated.
-
The prototype is tested, broken, tweaked—and then tested again.
By the time we see it, the product has already survived a lot of internal critique.
3. Why Mavigadget Works With Labs
We collaborate with labs in:
-
The U.S.
-
Europe
-
South Korea
-
Japan
-
China
-
Turkey
-
Singapore
They’re able to:
-
Move from idea to prototype quickly
-
Experiment with new materials and mechanisms
-
Build small, high-quality production runs
-
Support creators who don’t have their own engineering resources
This combination lets us list products that feel like they’re from the future—but made for everyday life.
4. Labs + Creators + Mavigadget
Sometimes the idea comes from a lab.
Sometimes from an independent creator working with a lab.
Sometimes from a brand that hires an agency to bring their vision to life.
Mavigadget’s role is to bring all of that work to your screen in a way that’s simple to browse and easy to buy.
