OUR STORY

A while ago this website and concept was actually called ‘Necessitee’ – a purposeful misspelling of necessity so we could register a domain name.

The tag line for that site was ‘The Mother Of All Invention’ which is from the well know proverb – “Necessity is The Mother Of All Invention”.

The idea at the time was to showcase a range of inventions, creations and products born from the creative mind of Rob Stephenson and others.

After many years of not really keeping things up-to-date, realising the name just wasn’t sitting well and Rob having a somewhat ‘enlightening’ experience with the universal laws, we decided to rename and reinvent (pardon the pun) and become ‘Manifested’

The power of this word brings so many levels to what we are doing here in the space of creation of ‘things’ and ‘ideas’ and the new tag-line ‘Brilliant Ideas Brought To Life’ is really what it’s all about.

The new chapter of the lives of the team at Manifested is beginning.

INVENT

Of course this is where it all begins. The lightbulb moments that happen at all and any hours on any given day

DESIGN

Then for the most important part of the creative process. Making sure everything in the creation has a reason for being there

CREATE

Now to the most fun and often most challenging time. Staying true to the concept, then bringing those brilliant ideas to life

HUMANISE

In an effort to make the world a better place we try to make our products and services as human-friendly as possible
