Dear English mothertongue colleagues,
I need your help to help a British friend who's unsuccessfully trying to translate this concept. Here's the context, "Il designer adotta una metodologia progettuale che punta su fattori innovativi, offrendo al mercato risposte oneste e non inflazionanti."
I know this means that this professional offers design solutions that are above-board, in a marketplace surfeited with virtually identical products. But how would you explain this concisely in UK EN?
Any thoughts welcome.

not a very "original" expression these days unfortunately
I often try to slip in "unprecedented" for the "never seen before" aspect.
