A premium brand can't ship an ugly manual.
Schiavello's products are specified by architects and installed by qualified tradespeople. The installation guides are the last touchpoint before the furniture is in use — and the previous documentation didn't match the design standard of the brand it represented. The manuals had to be minimal and elegant enough to sit beside the product, and clear enough to be followed quickly by someone with a drill in their hand.
The real complexity was scale. Multiple booklets, each with its own product drawings, hardware and sequences, moving between Schiavello's product, engineering and marketing teams and ours. Without a tight process, that is where projects like this stall — missing files, conflicting revisions, and manuals that drift from one another.
Manage the workflow. Build the template. Ship the set.
Set the project management protocol
A single workflow for briefs, technical drawings, hardware lists, reviews and sign-off across every team involved, so multiple booklets could move in parallel without confusion.
Build the master template
A grid, diagram style, iconography and type hierarchy that evolve the Schiavello brand into technical documentation — so every manual is built the same way.
Deliver the set
Each booklet produced on the template, reviewed with the product and engineering teams, and delivered as one cohesive, consistent series.
