faq
what is industrial design?
in the tradition of peter behrens, the bauhaus, the ulm school, and dieter rams, industrial design is more than the creation of individual products. it is the discipline that shapes the entire expression of an industrial enterprise.
industrial design creates a coherent relationship between technology, production, products, communication, and identity. it organizes how a company materializes its values, engineering, and culture through design.
this understanding of industrial design includes the coordinated design of:
- products and product families
- architecture and industrial environments (factories, offices, showrooms)
- visual communication and typography
- corporate identity and brand language
- product systems and design principles
- the relationship between technology, materials, production, and form
the goal is to create a coherent design culture across the entire enterprise.
for us, design is therefore not limited to individual objects.
it is about shaping the system behind them—the industrial order that connects products, people, technology, and identity.
what is the difference between industrial design and product design?
industrial design
industrial design shapes the entire industrial culture and identity of a company. it concerns how an enterprise expresses itself through everything it produces and communicates.
industrial design includes:
- products
- architecture (factories, offices, showrooms)
- graphics and typography
- exhibitions and communication
- corporate identity
- product families and systems
- the relationship between technology, production, and culture
the goal is to create a coherent design language across the whole enterprise.
product design
product design focuses on the design of individual products.
it deals mainly with:
- the form and function of a specific object
- usability and ergonomics
- materials and construction
- manufacturing considerationsthe scope is the single product, not the entire enterprise.
why should companies invest in industrial design?
industrial design helps transform technology and ideas into products that people understand, trust and want to use.
companies invest in product design to:
- differentiate themselves in competitive markets
- improve usability and product experience
- translate complex technology into clear products
- strengthen brand perception
- increase product adoption and sales
in many industries design is the key factor connecting innovation with real user needs.
when should a design studio be involved in a project?
ideally at the beginning of a project. early design involvement helps define product strategy, user requirements and technical feasibility before development costs increase.
decisions made during the early design phase influence manufacturing costs, tooling investments and the long-term success of the product.
what does the product development process look like?
a typical product development process includes several stages:
- research and product strategy
- concept development and design exploration
- design refinement and engineering development
- prototyping and validation
- preparation for manufacturing and production
depending on the project, these stages may overlap and evolve iteratively.
do you also support engineering and manufacturing?
yes. industrial design and engineering development are closely connected. our work often includes cad development, manufacturing optimization and collaboration with technical partners and suppliers.
design decisions always consider materials, production technologies and assembly requirements to ensure that concepts can be realized efficiently.
do you develop prototypes?
prototypes are an essential part of product development. they allow ideas to be tested early and help evaluate usability, technical feasibility and manufacturing constraints.
different types of prototypes are used during development — from early concept models to functional prototypes and production-ready validation models.
how long does a industrial design project take?
project timelines depend on complexity. concept design studies may take a few weeks, while full product development projects including engineering and prototyping can take several months.
the goal is not simply speed, but making the right decisions at each stage of development to reduce risk and ensure a successful product launch.
