ETHNOGRAPHY

OUR ETHNOGRAPHIC PRACTICE IS DRIVEN BY THE WAY PEOPLE INTERACT WITH DESIGN OBJECTS IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

Actions, feelings and thoughts are commonly expressed through objects. This is why our starting point to our ethnographic approach is inspired in observing material culture phenomena.

We believe that applied commercial anthropology helps us to discover the inner layers of information about what is important to people: their feelings, perceptions, aspirations expressed through all their material forms (objects) and social practices (habits).

Our expertise and professional training in anthropology provides us with knowledge and skills for classical ethnographic research can be used in product development, product placement, brand and marketing strategies.


By analysing people’s lifestyles and everyday routines, we can assist you in developing products that are more precisely tailored to the specific needs of your consumers.


Our ethnographic practice will be useful if you need

Richer and more relevant accounts of your consumers’ habits and choices.
