The first step in design involves the basic concept which is drawn on the basis of user’s requirement. New technologies have accelerated the pace of change, as well as sustainability issues, cost, and fact that members of Generation Y are moving into leadership positions in the work force. We Understand the kind of work, quality and affordability of the user. The interiors would be of no use if there is lack of comfort or vice-versa because if it lacks comfort then employees can’t work efficiently in both cases.
Products that are benefited from many aspects: material, user, manufacture and environment. A successful product has to have clear direction of where the function and goal is through the medium of design. Form is a very important element in every design. Yet, depending on the purpose of the design and the direction the design is moving toward, the level of aesthetic perspective should be adjust. Material is playing a vital role in design since we are focusing on sustainable design. We would like to design products that have a smooth connection between the material and what the design is. The bridge between the product and the material will be thinking about how to bring up the most beautiful element of the material. The cost has to be affordable for everyone because this is about mass-producing a product and also a sustainable design camping. Also design has to have the sense of executive design value in it. It should be tread as premium series. Technology is absolutely important in the design principle. In the past people used different skills and tools to make a finish product. Since technology is developing so fast and efficient that we should take the advantage of technology as a handy tool. There should be a balance point between them. By the time goes, we as designers learned how much waste packaging have been creating. We would like to consider packaging as part of the product design. Even though flat-pack furniture is a good design for transporting, they do need a lot of cardboard to protect it. After all, they are all thrown away. If we can design the packaging as part of the product, how nice that will be.
