Why the Right Space Is Your Biggest Competitive Advantage

Design Thinking is a process that thrives on its environment. A standard meeting room with rigid tables and limited options stifles creativity before it can even emerge. Real breakthroughs require movement, flexibility and an atmosphere that invites experimentation.

At Eisenwerk 15/2, we have created a 270 m² ecosystem designed specifically to energize every phase of the Design Thinking process. Here you will find not just a space, but a partner for your innovation journey.

A Space for Every Phase of the Process

Our location adapts dynamically to your team's needs – from deep immersion in the users' world to the final presentation of results.

Empathize

Conduct undisturbed interviews in our cozy seating areas or use the soundproof cubes for in-depth conversations. The relaxed atmosphere encourages openness and honest feedback – the foundation of real empathy.

Define

Synthesize your research findings on our huge whiteboard walls. Create personas, customer journey maps and point-of-view statements. The space offers enough room to make all your insights visible and spot patterns.

Ideate

Now it's time to get creative! Use the entire floor space for brainstorming sessions. The mobile furniture allows quick switches between individual work, small groups and plenary discussions. Post-its stick everywhere – even on the windows!

Prototype

Make your ideas tangible. Whether clickable mockups, storyboards or physical models made of cardboard and tape – our space gives you the freedom and the materials to build and iterate prototypes quickly and easily.

Test

Present your prototypes on the 86-inch screen and gather direct feedback. The flexible seating lets you recreate realistic test scenarios and gain valuable insights for the next iteration.

The Toolkit for Innovators

We provide everything you need for a successful workshop. You focus on the content, we take care of the rest.

Facilitator's Kit

Packed with markers, Post-its, sticky dots, scissors and everything a creative heart could desire.
