Understanding, feasibility, prototyping, co-engineering, manufacturing and sustainability: our six-stage method for every homeware programme we deliver. -1

Nothing here is left to chance.

Eco-design, prototyping and a proven six-stage method for collaborative innovation: the same process that takes an idea from a sketch on your desk to a pallet on a global retail dock.

Eco-design at the core

In Minelli Group, eco-design isn't just a trend: it is our core philosophy. Through co-design and co-engineering, we guide you toward the most sustainable and innovative solutions, ensuring the functionality and beauty of the items you seek remain uncompromised.

From the most commonly used solid wood species to non-wood composite materials, we're committed to sourcing the perfect materials and optimising product engineering to make your items functional and responsible.

We don't stop there. From rigorous testing to comprehensive technical data, we ensure every detail aligns with the demands of your industry, delivering finished goods that are as safe as they are sustainable.

From concept to finished goods

Thanks to our comprehensive prototyping service, we leverage a wide range of cutting-edge technologies to bring your vision to life. Once the feasibility study is approved, we develop a complete pre-production quotation, including virtual and physical samples, to fine-tune every detail before production and ensure the highest standards at the best price.

Our CNC prototyping area excels in working with wood, cork and polymers, enabling highly accurate samples for materials that require subtractive manufacturing.

Prototypes are not only technically flawless: they are a true reflection of the aesthetic and qualitative standards you can expect in the final product. Products that look great, perform flawlessly and exceed expectations.

The proven method for collaborative innovation
01 | STEP

Understanding your needs

We start by listening to your vision and defining the goals of the project. This step ensures that we align our expertise with your expectations from the very beginning.

02 | STEP

Feasibility analysis

We conduct detailed feasibility studies, evaluating materials, design possibilities and production techniques to identify the most efficient and effective solutions.

03 | STEP

Prototyping

Prototypes bring your concept to life. This step allows us to test and refine the design, ensuring that every detail aligns with your brand identity and functional requirements.

04 | STEP

Co-design and co-engineering

We work hand-in-hand with you during the design and engineering phases, combining our technical expertise with your input to create a product that is aesthetically pleasing, practical and cost-efficient.

05 | STEP

Manufacturing excellence

Leveraging cutting-edge technology and decades of craftsmanship, we ensure the production process is seamless and precise.

06 | STEP

Sustainability integration

Throughout the entire process we prioritise sustainable practices, from material selection to production efficiency: this is our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Quality Controls

Every part is checked before it becomes your product

Process control is built into the line, not added at the end: thermal imaging, tactile probes and in-line dimensional checks flag a deviation while it can still be corrected, not after a pallet has already left the plant.

Compliance

Never the reason a launch slips

When we bring a product to market together, we manage the testing and certification requirements alongside you, coordinating with the accredited labs and bodies each market calls for.

Certifications

Compliance is not a claim we make: it is documented, audited and renewed. Full technical files travel with every project.

FSC®

Ensures wood-based products come from responsibly and sustainably managed forests: strict environmental, social and economic standards, protected biodiversity, respected indigenous rights, fair labour and a transparent supply chain.

PEFC

Forest certification based on the criteria and indicators established in the Ministerial Conferences for the Protection of Forests in Europe.

Lacey Act compliant

Prohibits the import, export, transport, sale, receipt, acquisition or purchase of any plant taken in violation of the laws of the United States or other countries.

Enel green energy

Confirms our commitment to using 100% renewable energy sourced from eco-conscious production processes.

ISO 28000

Requires organisations to assess the security of their supply chain and operating environment, verify adequate security measures and ensure compliance with regulations.

Food-contact approved

Finishes, adhesives and composites certified for contact with food, with the full technical file (testing, declarations and traceability) travelling with every project.
