What I Believe in Industrial Design

We are not artists, though we are artistic. We are not inventors, though we are inventive. And we are not engineers, though we bring a deep technical understanding to our work. We are not marketers, though the best of us propose concepts that lead the trends and market. Working freelance or in-house, industrial designers love art and science to improve the look, feel, and function of chairs, environments, cars, mobile phones, and even corporate logos.

 

"Good industrial designer makes a thing look good, and great industrial designer builds a relationship between an object and its user."
