Case Study: Nightside achieves faster time-to-market and scalable production with Fictiv

Nightside's Journey From Prototype to Production

Nightside, a design-forward bedside brand based in Marin County, CA, needed to move its flagship Nightside Lamp from concept to market quickly while maintaining high-quality, manufacturable parts. To solve fast prototyping bottlenecks and the complexity of a 14‑part BOM plus machined components, Nightside partnered with Fictiv for rapid prototyping, injection molding, CNC machining, DFM consultation, and supply‑chain program and logistics management.

Fictiv provided end‑to‑end support—accelerating iterations with fast prototypes, guiding DFM for injection‑molded parts, centralizing BOM sourcing, and managing production logistics—so prototype turnaround dropped from weeks to days, quality improved with fewer errors, and Nightside scaled seamlessly into production. The result: cost savings, faster time‑to‑market, and a successful first production run of over 1,000 units that exceeded expectations, with sales continuing to grow thanks to Fictiv’s ongoing support.
