Our moderated roundtable explores the similarities and differences between designing tangible/digital products in contemporary practice. When the industrial design profession emerged as a result of the industrial revolution in the early 19th century, it was initially focused on mass-produced consumer products. Over time, as products have evolved to become more than simple physical entities, the profession has evolved as well. Today industrial designers are involved in the creation of systems that include not only products, but also their services, interactions and experiences.
Our roundtable consists of four panelists who represent various aspects of contemporary industrial design practice from consumer products, experience & interaction design, systems and services design as well as emerging technologies.Each panelist will present a Pecha-kucha style slideshow that tells the story of a design project, providing the attendees with an insight into the processes and steps that led to the final product.
The presentations will be followed by a moderated roundtable discussion that will centre around the similarities and differences that exist between designing tangible/digital products, systems and experiences. There will also be an opportunity for audience members to submit questions for the panelists.
Our distinguished panelists are:
