dynafit - 2024 BINDINGS
DESIGN CASE ON TWO TECHNICALLY INNOVATIVE SKITOURING BINDINGS
We collaborated with the pionner brand of ski touring, DYNAFIT, on their new bindings range. Apart from creating and adapting a new design language, the real challenge here was to integrate new technologies and functions on very demanding products. In fact, this kind of ski bindings has to face restrictive norms, extreme use and low weight objectives.

DESIGN TECHNICITY
We have pushed towards regular exchanges and co-creation methods with DYNAFIT R&D, to be able to meet their expectations in terms of technicality/feasibility. These new bindings include assisted step-in systems, better management of boot release values and easier operation of the climbing aids. We had to formalize these new functions in a coherent style, respecting the language of the brand, and keeping an eye on the snow packing managment in these different systems.
VALIDATION THROUGH PROTOTYPING
Designers-USERS
For the success of this project, we also relied on different test phases, in which we were able to participate. Being users ourselves allowed us to facilitate our exchanges, and to propose valuable solutions.
