SICH

What SICH does

SICH Design Studio is a privately-held, full-stack product development firm that delivers integrated industrial design, engineering, brand development, and manufacturing coordination services for physical consumer products. Founded in Argentina in 2016 and structured as a globally distributed studio with named active hubs in the United States, Spain, Argentina, and China, the firm serves a primary segment of product startups and first-time founders who lack in-house design and engineering capability, supplemented by engagements with established consumer brands (notably MAM). Its public portfolio spans coffee glassware (FLUR), electronic wellness devices (Breathe with B), baby teethers (MAM), kids lunchware (Good Bare), refillable deodorant (Savera), and semi-hydroponic planters (Bylon), across startup and enterprise clients in the U.S., Singapore, and elsewhere.

The studio's core technical capability is a CAD-driven workflow that bridges industrial design, design-for-manufacturing engineering, and physical prototyping. Key components include in-house 3D printing for rapid low-cost iteration, advanced CAD modeling to optimize materials, mechanisms, and tolerances for production readiness, and a manufacturing network spanning U.S. partners and international — including Chinese — production hubs that supports both rapid domestic prototyping and high-volume overseas scale. Services are organized into a seven-stage process covering discovery, planning, industrial design, branding, engineering, manufacturing management, and post-launch iteration, executed by an integrated cross-functional team.

SICH operates as a project-based professional services firm with quote-based pricing tailored to each engagement's scope and complexity. Revenue is generated entirely from end-to-end product development engagements rather than product sales, and go-to-market is sales-led, relying on a website portfolio showcasing case studies, direct inquiries via [email protected], organic social media, and referrals. The organization remains small at 1-10 employees with six publicly named team members, has no disclosed external investors or parent company, and is not publicly listed.
