FREEDOM TO LIVE

“Dedicated to outstanding innovation wherever the potential exists”

A multidisciplinary company, O’WONDER will create or enter any markets we feel require innovation or improvement. Our consistent award winning philosophy is based on intelligent design, common sense vision and dignified after sales support.

STATUS O

As of December 2011, we are exclusively focused on the development of a number of intertwined next generation ventures, so there will not be much to see here until we’re done.

HEYYU users, please contact us for any support issues.

KNOWING

Some companies go through too many iterations of product design before delivering something that gets it right – if at all. They often follow a trend while lacking the experience to comprehend their intended market or have a firm vision for what they are trying to achieve.

This leads to flawed products that don’t work or deliver mediocre results. On the other hand, there are those who bring years of experience, imaginative thinking and ‘pre-thought’ to the table – knowing instinctively and instantaneously what has to be done – gasping at poor execution.

This extends to most aspects of life, from the control layout on a microwave oven, rail network logistics– to the functionality of a wireless device or software application.

At O’WONDER we do get it, thinking about every component of what we offer, applying a visionary common sense approach, so that you may get on with your life and work, without concerning yourself with the small stuff. That’s freedom to live.

CULTURE

We appreciate the aesthetic and robust engineering that eminates from the East, in particular Japan – and now Korea. You can expect this to be echoed in much of what O’WONDER creates.

CORE VALUES

  • Innovation in design and engineering
  • Products and services that last, with no hidden surprises
  • Effective customer support
  • Respect for privacy of the individual
  • Foundation concern for the environment

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Strictly top down. We envision a solution and based on our knowledge of technology, decide if it is viable. On the other hand, sometimes, a new technology will appear that enables a whole new category of product that no one conceived before. In that case, if ideas spring to mind, we’ll explore the potential!
