Iterative Prototyping for Italian Barber

The Challenge

Italian Barber approached Technast with a clear idea, but not a finalized product. The goal was to develop a functional, manufacturable solution that met precise expectations for both appearance and performance. Like many real-world products, the requirements evolved as the concept became physical.

Our Approach

We treated this project as an iterative engineering process rather than a one-off design task.

The initial phase focused on translating the concept into tangible prototypes. From there, each revision was driven by hands-on evaluation and direct feedback. Geometry, fit, usability, and functional details were adjusted across multiple versions. No arbitrary revision limits. No premature sign-off.

Each prototype informed the next.

Iteration in Practice

• Multiple early-stage designs explored different structural and functional directions

• Successive prototypes refined tolerances, ergonomics, and overall usability

• Visual and mechanical elements were adjusted in parallel

• Changes were implemented until the product matched the client’s expectations exactly

The final result was not version one or two—it was the version that solved the problem correctly.

The Outcome

Italian Barber received a product that aligned with their vision both visually and functionally. More importantly, they gained confidence in the process: every concern was addressed through physical iteration, not assumptions.

How Technast Works

At Technast, prototyping continues until the client is satisfied. We don’t cap revisions, rush decisions, or force compromises for convenience. Engineering is iterative by nature, and we respect that reality.

If the product isn’t right yet, we keep working.

That’s how successful products are built.
