InProcess carries out innovation projects by working on how objects are used. Originally from the culture of industrial design, InProcess has developed a specific method, based on the understanding of how users behave. This insight is used to optimize and innovate, for products and services.
This constant observation provides the “breeding ground of creation”. Each shortcoming detected in the user process becomes an opportunity for innovation. After representing a new way of using an object or accessing a service (by using a “life scenario”), the firm makes a prototype of each one of these innovations to assess in vivo their acceptance by the end user.
InProcess provides this service in all markets of our environment such as home, transportation, banking, leisure activities, food, health... thereby contributing to the improvement of everyday life.

InProcess was created by Christophe Rebours and is structured around the following model: Observation & Creation.
A two-sided model that brings together experts in human sciences and experts in design.

Platform of observation of user behaviours:

- Sociology, Ergonomics, Ethnology
- Marketing of services
- Scripting of products / services concepts
- Industrial design
- Prototyping
- Engineering

POM, the first charger fit to be seen :

For UNIROSS, InProcess imagined a charger able to install the gesture of recharging in the daily life of the users. POM is the new product belonging to the category of the small equipments of domestic energy; it facilitates the recharging of batteries but also nomad devices, thanks to the integrated USB port, and becomes a object which is fit to be seen and which takes a particular place at home or at the office.

POM has already obtained an "Etoile de l'Observeur du Design 09" and has been selected for the International Biennial of Saint Etienne.

iDNiGHT, a new experience for night trains :

Thanks to the intervention of InProcess, the subsidiary of the SNCF (French National Railway Company) is able to provide a more innovative service which is adapted to the specific desires of the travellers for night train journeys in TGV between Paris and the South of France.
Indeed, InProcess imagined a train composed of
spaces with various ambiances: around the bar,
DVDs and concerts would animate the space iDzinc,
whereas iDlounge would bring you serenity and
entertainment thanks to music, games… For those
who only want to take a rest, they could make it in the rest of the train.
InProcess creates a new approach to the experience
of night trains, by proposing spaces of nuances where each passenger would find the activity adapted to his or her specific biorhythm and thus becomes the actor of his or her trip.

Musinaut, the futuristic headphone :

InProcess put in concrete form the amazing
invention of the start’up Musinaut, by conceiving a
headphone able to adapt the music to the emotions
of the listener. This is possible thanks to the three
sensors set out behind the ear and on the forehead.
Proposed yet as a prototype which shows the
technology works, the concept of this ergonomic
headphone has been presented for a private view at
the MIDEM (Cannes, France).
It also won the silver trophy during the Trophées
Marketing Magazine 2008, in the category ‘’Design of
product’’.

Innovative mascara :

Organised by the APCI, the "Observeur du Design" highlights and rewards each year a selection of the best creations of the collaboration between companies and designers.
