Industrial Design

The process of designing products that are useful, beautiful, and easy to make.

What is it?

Industrial design is about creating things like furniture, electronics, and bags. Designers think about how the product will be used, what materials to use, and how it looks. The camera bag you captured is an example of industrial design: it is functional, durable, and has orange accents for style and visibility. Industrial design also considers ergonomics, so the bag is comfortable to carry. The takeaway coffee cup is another example: the lid's sipping hole and vent are ergonomic, the sleeve is a clever solution to the hot cup problem, and the checkboxes make ordering efficient. Industrial design combines art, science, and technology to improve everyday products. The takeaway cup you captured shows how industrial design solves problems like heat protection and spill prevention. The fabric freshener you captured is also an example of industrial design: its spray nozzle, bottle shape, and label are all designed to be easy to use and attractive.

Why it matters

Industrial design makes products easier and more enjoyable to use. Good design can make a product safer, more comfortable, and more sustainable. It also affects how we feel about the things we own.

工业设计

设计有用、美观且易于制造的产品的过程。

它是什么？

工业设计是关于创造家具、电子产品和包袋等物品。设计师考虑产品如何使用、使用什么材料以及外观如何。你拍到的相机包就是工业设计的一个例子：它功能性强、耐用，并有橙色点缀以增加风格和可见性。工业设计还考虑人体工程学，使包袋携带舒适。外卖咖啡杯是另一个例子：盖子的饮用口和透气孔符合人体工程学，杯套是解决热杯问题的巧妙方案，复选框使点单高效。工业设计结合艺术、科学和技术来改进日常产品。你拍到的外卖杯展示了工业设计如何解决防热和防溢等问题。你拍到的织物清新剂也是工业设计的一个例子：它的喷雾嘴、瓶身形状和标签都设计得易于使用且吸引人。
