Services

Product Development

Our Design and Development team are dedicated and passionate ensuring we bring the latest, inspiring and most up to date products to our clients.

The collections across our in-house brands are built to complement and complete one another, from BAGNODESIGN coated brassware and BYSTRO kitchen appliances to GYMKHANA outdoor furniture, SANAURA lighting, and RICHMOND architectural hardware. While each collection is distinct in character, all are connected through a refined and cohesive design language.

Marketing & Merchandising

Marketing gives each brand its voice and runs as a 100% in-house team. Website, photography, brochures, exhibitions: all created internally, none outsourced. Working alongside product development from the earliest concept stage, they shape the narrative around every collection, translating craftsmanship and design intent into campaigns, content, and brand experiences that resonate with architects, interior designers, developers, and homeowners. Their remit spans market research, brand strategy, creative direction, photography, digital and social content, PR, trade events, showroom activations, editorial partnerships, and lead generation building demand across the markets we serve and reinforcing the identity of each brand within the group.

Testing + Quality

Product Testing

Our in-house product testing and maintenance workshop facilities replicate real-life environments to accurately demonstrate performance under different conditions and scenarios. We work in full compliance to various certifications, including water consumption (LEED, ESTIDAMA), accessibility (ADA, DOCM), healthcare building (DHA, HTM63), and hygiene (WELL) standards.

Quality Control

Our in-house quality control facility implements risk-based inspections utilising modern tools and adhering to rigorous product standards. A Quality Assurance Program with sophisticated KPI procedures is applied across the global supplier base for full accountability. At our in-house Coating facility, our QC team inspects around 3,000 pieces of Armour-coated BAGNODESIGN brassware every month to ensure 100% quality.
