Under the design leadership of Pip Tompkin, Sharper Image underwent a major strategic rebranding shifting from its gadgety roots into a design-driven lifestyle brand focused on user experience, aesthetic restraint, and improved quality through materials and manufacturing methods. Our challenge at Primer was to develop this elevated vision by designing a cohesive suite of next-generation recovery products. Leveraging the brand's established equity, we worked to redefine what Sharper Image means to a new generation of design-conscious wellness enthusiasts.

To project a level of precision and build quality that the brand’s legacy products lacked, we developed a bold yet minimalist design language across three modular massaging tools. This ecosystem features a foot roller with an interchangeable center section for customized deep-tissue relief; a versatile handheld impact massager equipped with interchangeable tips, an extended handle, and a wall mount; and an innovative hot-and-cold impact massage head for targeted thermal therapy in tough-to-reach areas. By pairing physical utility with premium tactile finishes, we successfully transitioned Sharper Image directly into the premium active-recovery market.
