Colombo Design Studio

Ever tried fitting a square peg in a round hole?
In these extraordinary times there are often problems for which it seems there is no solution. However we believe that there is an enormous global community of creative problem-solving people who can help with just about anything. So we have built this website in order that people can post problems related to humanitarian disasters and we will put them out to the creative community to find solutions.

This is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and we hope we can achieve 365 Earth Days per year moving forward.
Plastic pollution is still one of the main challenges we will experience while our climate changes in the years to come. In the immediate future we will need to deal with a respiratory virus that turned into a pandemic and this extreme situation will decrease waste management and collection. We want to urge everyone not to burn plastics at home. If you are in and around Arugam Bay, please collect your recyclables and do not burn it and damage your precious lungs. We are open at the moment so you can drop off your recyclables. Please wash your hands at our foot operated tap, keep distance to our staff and wear a mask. Don't forget to smile under it. 😊😷 Stay safe everyone.

Here at Colombo Design Studio various rapid prototyping methods are utilised to achieve a first look and feel of a concept before moving onto final molding and production of a new product. It helps everybody involved to better understand the product in real life and clear out and correct any snags that we might come across prior to the mass production stage. For this particular prototype shown, we have combined a few methods such as 3 axis CNC machining of wood and other materials, 3D printed finishes and lots and lots of sanding, painting and varnishing to create the final prototype. The investment cost is considerably less and the timelines are short when compared to other traditional methods of prototyping.
Do you have a prototype in mind that needs realisation, get in touch with us! :)
