The X-Rest

 

From Concept to Market in Six Months—On a Tight Budget

Join us as we take a visual tour through the development process for the X-Rest, a Montie Design product. Just one year ago, we envisioned a line of simple products that would solve simple needs well.  These products highlight our firm's design process and its core capabilities, and their development serves as a learning laboratory that tightens our process and strengthens these capabilities for future applications for external clients and their product development needs.

The X-Rest is a product that is elegant in its simplicity. Today, we share the process we used to take the X-Rest from concept to market, seeking to provide you with new tools and new understanding of how companies launch new products into the marketplace.
