Detailed Description

Industrial design, relatively new discipline is often misunderstood as a decorative design imparting importance only to the visual and formal qualities of a product. In fact, it is not merely a formal conception but rather the solution of a more complex problem. It does not accept the structure and mechanism as limits within which its solution must be developed. An industrial designer’s background in engineering, ergonomics, innovation, economy and aesthetics enables him to design a product which is most acceptable to the user as well as the producer. In the design of heavy machineries and scientific equipments like vaccum coating plant, the innovative and human engineering aspects of industrial design can play a very significant role. In other words, it works with an intuitive sense of materials, for structure: for the economics of product use maintenance and replacement: and for the organization of elements into significant sensory patterns.
