Known for crafting the leading range of hammocks, Bear Butt, a community of outdoor enthusiasts and devoted campers, approached us with a vision to create the ultimate camp blanket. Bear Butt are renowned for working closely with their customers and together we set out to make every adventure more comfortable, more convenient and ultimately more fun.

The response to Bear Butt’s Kickstarter campaign was phenomenal, with the initial 500 units sold out within just 24 hours, raising an impressive $9500.

 

By closely engaging with their customers, we identified key usage scenarios that significantly improved camp life, forming the basis of our design brief. Through a series of quick prototypes focusing on functionality and usability, we focused on the core features and limitations of each use case.

  • Camp Blanket
  • Hammock Under Quilt
  • Sleeping Bag
  • Pillow
  • Poncho

These quick prototypes allowed us to understand the prime functionalities and constraints of each use. Building up this framework allowed us to merge the uses into the ultimate camp blanket. This collaborative process not only strengthened Bear Butt’s relationship with their customers but also paved the way for a successful product launch.
