Shape an idea that isn't formed yet
into a wood product ready for prototyping.
WKidea commissioned design is for projects that only have a concept, sketches, brand needs or a use case.
Starting from everyday observation, the logic of wood and digital modeling, we help you set the direction and build the form, specs and manufacturable files.

Commissioned design gives a clear shape between idea and manufacturing
If you don't have a STEP file yet, or the product outline still needs work, this service fits better than going straight to contract manufacturing.
Only an early concept
You know what problem to solve, who it's for or where it will be used, but there is no clear form or size yet.
A branded object
You want to turn your company values, an event theme or the feel of a space into a wood product people use and keep.
Files ready for prototyping
You need WKidea to create 2D/3D drawings, proportions, material direction and the basis for prototyping.
Five steps that bring an idea closer to a real object
Design is not only about form; we consider use, material character, machining limits and brand memory together.
Not just nice drawings, but design data you can keep building on
Deliverables depend on project depth. The goal is a clear direction for you, and enough basis for prototyping and production.
Product positioning, use cases, form language, brand touchpoints and design direction.
Form sketches, proportions, operation, and storage or display logic.
2D drawings or 3D models as needed, for dimension discussion and prototype evaluation.
Recommendations on wood, grain direction, finish, hardware, magnets or composite materials.
Initial dimensions, machining notes, prototyping advice and handoff data for contract manufacturing.
Design fees, deliverable files, design ownership and schedule are all confirmed per project, after quotation and discussion.
Wood at the core, but more than woodworking
WKidea's design method combines everyday observation, material knowledge, digital modeling and hand finishing, so products feel natural and fit precisely.
Design is led by WKidea founder Willy Kang, an officially certified Autodesk Fusion instructor since 2017; models are built in Fusion and checked for machinability on WKidea's own 3-axis CNC.
Everyday observation
From hand gestures, storage habits and spatial context, we find where a product truly belongs.
Logic of wood
We respect grain, direction, hardness and machining limits, so form and material work together.
Digital craft
CAD, 3D modeling and CNC thinking bring manufacturing judgment into the design from the start.
Feel and detail
Chamfers, grip, magnets, opening and closing, and surface finish refine how the product meets the hand.
Not only gifts can be designed
Commissioned design applies to corporate gifts, design goods, desk organizers, tech accessories, display props, small objects for spaces and brand merchandise.
We first confirm whether your project needs "design development", "prototype validation" or "direct production", then arrange the right process.

Commissioned design
From organizing requirements to prototype specs, we build the product step by step.
