Warmth and relaxation are essential elements of comfort for many, whether at home, in transit, or on the go. Serge, the founder of Spatium Systems, recognized this need and set out to create a revolutionary heating system that seamlessly integrates into everyday life.
From clothing and backpacks to airplane seats and office chairs, Spatium Systems is redefining how we experience warmth, recovery, and relaxation.
A Startup Born from Innovation
Spatium Systems began with a simple yet powerful idea: to develop a heating system that is versatile, lightweight, and effective.
“I wanted to create a system that could connect to anything—clothing, backpacks, chairs—offering relief and relaxation wherever it’s needed,” Serge explains.
With this vision in mind, Spatium Systems was born.
Excitement is building as the company prepares to launch its first product in just two weeks. The journey from concept to launch has been fueled by Serge’s passion for innovation and a keen understanding of what consumers need.
Crowdfunding Success and Market Validation
To gauge demand and refine the product, Spatium Systems turned to crowdfunding. Unlike many startups that use platforms like Kickstarter to raise significant capital, Serge took a different approach. “Our target was $3,000—just enough to gather customer feedback and improve the product,” he shares.
The campaign exceeded expectations, raising $10,000 with a minimal ad spend of just $1,500. “The return was great, and it signaled a strong demand for what we’re creating,” Serge says.
The success of the crowdfunding campaign validated the concept and provided Spatium Systems with a dedicated community of early adopters eager to test and refine the product.
Elevating the Unboxing Experience with Arka
Great products deserve great presentation. From the outset, Serge knew that packaging was a crucial part of the customer experience.
“We’re using Arka packaging, and I love that it’s FSC-certified,” he says. “Sustainability matters, and it’s great to support responsible sourcing.”
The custom-designed packaging is sleek, modern, and functional—perfectly complementing Spatium Systems’ high-tech heating pad. “It’s a flexible pad, so Arka’s box design works seamlessly. You pop it open, place the product inside, and it’s ready for presentation.”
Beyond aesthetics, the packaging is designed for usability. When customers lift the flap, they’re greeted with the phrase ‘Hot vibes have arrived,’ followed by a QR code that leads to a Quick Start guide.
This thoughtful touch ensures customers can easily set up and enjoy their heating system without any hassle.
Customization Made Simple
One of the biggest challenges in packaging design is ensuring it aligns with a brand’s identity. For Spatium Systems, the ability to visualize and customize packaging in real-time was a game-changer.
“I wanted a company that let me customize designs and see them in 3D,” Serge recalls. “Arka was one of the few that offered a truly visual, interactive experience.”
Instead of working with flat templates or complex design software, Spatium Systems used Arka’s online creation tool to develop packaging that accurately reflected the brand’s futuristic feel. “It was really accurate in terms of what I was building online versus what the final product looked like,” he says.
Looking Ahead: Customer Feedback and Future Generations
With the first-generation product about to ship, Spatium Systems is eager to hear customer feedback. “We’re fulfilling Kickstarter orders now, and mass production shipments are arriving soon. Once we start shipping in two weeks, we’ll know what customers think,” Serge shares.
The ultimate goal is continuous improvement. “We’re already thinking about Gen 2,” he says. The plan is to reach out to early customers, invite them to test future models, and refine the product based on real-world use.
“We’ll offer testers the product for free in exchange for their insights. It’s all about making the next version even better.”
Sustainability and Innovation
Sustainability is a key focus for Spatium Systems. While designing a completely sustainable heating pad presents challenges—particularly with battery integration—the company is committed to making eco-friendly choices wherever possible.
“The heating pad itself is complex, but we made sure our packaging is 100% recyclable,” Serge explains. “Even the plastic wrap we ship in is biodegradable.”
Looking ahead, Spatium Systems aims to expand its sustainability efforts in future product iterations.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
For those looking to start their own business, Serge emphasizes the importance of organization and persistence. “Use a task-keeping system,” he advises. “Trying to keep everything in your head isn’t sustainable. Whether it’s Asana, Google Tasks, or a simple calendar, stay organized and prioritize.”
His second piece of advice? Take action every day.
“Make a small improvement or change to your business every single day. Over time, it adds up and moves you toward your goal.”
