Mechelen, Belgium
Award-winning Belgian design and innovation agency for products, brands, experiences, and strategy
Superellipse is a Belgian design and innovation agency with studios in Mechelen and Antwerp. The agency was formed by the merger of two established Belgian design studios: Achilles Design and Studio Dott. We help companies, governments, and organizations tackle complex challenges through a unique combination of strategy, design, and engineering. Our teams work across three practices: Strategy Hub, Product Lab, and Experience Studio. That structure allows us to move fluidly between strategic questions and hands-on execution, from innovation strategy and service design to product development, brand and interior design, and digital experiences. What sets us apart is the mix of disciplines under one roof. Brand designers, industrial designers, engineers, UX designers, spatial designers, and mixed reality specialists work together on the same projects. That cross-disciplinary collaboration consistently produces solutions that are more integrated, more considered, and more ready for the real world. We work across sectors: healthcare, mobility, food and retail, industry, public services, entertainment and more.

  • Description
    Designing a product is one thing. Making sure it can actually be manufactured, certified, and sold is another. We do both. We start where it matters: with the people who will use the product. User research, observations, and testing are built into our process from the beginning, not added at the end. That understanding shapes every design decision we make. Our product designers and engineers then work together from day one. Form, function, and feasibility are considered at the same time, not in sequence. It saves time, reduces costly late-stage changes, and results in products that are both well-designed and ready to produce. We have an in-house prototyping lab, which means we can build and test physical concepts quickly, without waiting on external partners. For medical devices and health-related products, we work according to ISO 13485 standards. We work across sectors: mobility, medtech, consumer products, industrial equipment, and more.

  • Description
    Good UX design is not just about screens. It's about how people interact with a product, whether that's an app, a machine interface, or a physical device with buttons. We bring together our digital design team and industrial designers to tackle that full picture. That combination matters most when the experience crosses boundaries: a medical device with a touchscreen, a connected product with a companion app, or an industrial machine that needs to be operated by people who are not engineers. By designing the physical and digital interaction together from the start, we avoid the friction that comes from treating them as separate problems. The result is interfaces that feel intuitive, regardless of the context they live in.

  • Description
    Packaging is the first physical moment between your product and your customer. We design packaging that works on both levels: it looks right on the shelf, and it holds up in the real world. What makes our approach different is the combination of brand designers and industrial designers working together from the start. That means the visual identity and the structural design reinforce each other, instead of being bolted together at the end. We also help companies rethink their packaging for sustainability. Whether you're switching materials, reducing waste, or working toward new regulations, we translate those constraints into packaging that still feels considered and on-brand.

  • Description
    The Superellipse brand design team consists of 8 senior designers with deep experience in strategic design. We help companies and organizations create or sharpen their identity: from positioning and brand story to visual design and application across all touchpoints. From launching new brands from scratch to solving complex challenges for established market players. The seniority and experience of our team means we're often approached by brands that have been in the market for a while and need design solutions for more intricate challenges: navigating multiple markets, channels, and product lines.

  • Description
    A space is never just a space. It's where your brand becomes tangible, where services are delivered, and where people form their first impression of your organization. We design interiors that work on both levels: they look and feel right, and they function the way people actually use them. Our spatial designers and service designers work together from the start, which means the layout, the interior design, the branding, and the flow of the experience are developed as one. That combination is especially valuable for environments where the service and the space are inseparable: a hospital reception, a government service desk, a retail floor, a corporate office. We map how people move through a space, where friction occurs, and how the environment can support rather than hinder the experience. Wayfinding and signage are part of that same thinking, not an afterthought. We also make sure the space reflects the brand. Materials, colours, typography, and graphic elements are chosen to create a coherent environment that communicates who you are before anyone says a word.

    Mixed reality is no longer a novelty. It's becoming a practical tool for training, product development, sales, and service delivery, across every sector. Our mixed reality team works closely with our digital designers, industrial designers, and service designers. That means MR is never a standalone add-on, but an integrated part of a broader product or experience. Whether it's an AR layer on a physical product, a VR training environment for complex procedures, or a digital twin that mirrors a real-world system in real time. Digital twins in particular are becoming increasingly relevant: for industrial equipment, healthcare environments, retail spaces, and more. We help organizations build and use them, not just as visualization tools, but as living models that support decision-making, maintenance, and innovation.

  • Description
    Our process combines strategic thinking with hands-on design. We run co-creation sessions with your team and stakeholders, translate insights into concepts, and build prototypes that you can test before you commit. No long trajectories that end in a slide deck. Just clear steps toward something tangible. We work across sectors, which means we bring in perspectives that stay inside most industry silos. That cross-sector experience consistently surfaces solutions that wouldn't have come from within.
