Exploring negotiated determinants of product form

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

This paper describes work in progress exploring influences of product form in design practice based on interviews with five industrial designers in southern Sweden. Participants were asked to list and compare different designers, and to explain how their respective characteristics affected product form. The findings indicate designers as shaped by traditions and acting not only to serve their clients/employers, but also with respect to others in the profession. Designers make decisions on strength and novelty of expressions, but behind the seemingly rational product design process, designers interpret and perform practices based on their own agendas, which may sometimes contrast commercial goals.
