Stafford-based Haughton Design has been working with a string of companies, helping them develop products with an exciting and contemporary look as well as revamping old designs to give them a new lease of life.
When EDL Lighting, in Rugeley, decided they needed to work on the design of one of their lights, they turned to Haughton.
The team came up with a design for the medical inspection light for use in hospitals either at the bedside or in examining rooms. The light can be operated by both the patient and the doctor.
Although the main thrust of the company's work is product design, it can handle a project from original concepts through to prototyping and helping design the production process to turn the project into a reality.
Established by experienced designer David Mills in 1994, Haughton's latest move has been a link-up with Lichfield marketing company Arvada, which helps assess consumer reaction to a design.
The firm also works closely with local universities, including Wolverhampton's Innovative Product Development Cen-tre.
