Eric Chan, IDSA | ECCO Design

Principal of ECCO Design

Product design has changed dramatically in recent years as everything, from computers to microwaves to MP3 players, has become more compact and more powerful. Less seems to be more, as everything becomes portable and more user friendly. 1,000 Product Designs features the most innovative designs in recent years. This unprecedented collection of products from all over the globe is a window into different cultures and societies, featuring everything from furnishings to personal items and accessories to electronics.

Eric Chan, IDSA, founder and director of ECCO Design, a leading New York design consultancy firm, received the World’s Outstanding Chinese Designer (WOCD) award from the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) on December 3, 2010. 

Rather than re-create the set of Californication, the ECCO Design team of Eric Chan, IDSA and Jeff Miller looked at complex, overall themes expressed in the program.
