Manchester Metropolitan Design Show
Products
3D Design Show 1989
Having initially
studied the design shows I thought it would be relevant to look in more detail
at specific products. I have chosen random products that are not necessarily a
family but the items were stunning and grabbed my attention.
Each product empathized simplicity and quality. My favourite
design was the picture above from the 1992 show. The design and the curves
look, modern, fresh and give a warm feeling, with the structure showing a
brilliant combination of linear lines and curves.
The 1989 product opposite followed the same theme and shows
how dynamic and refreshing an idea can be formulated and made into a product.
The designs highlight to me that lines and curves can work together to produce a
magical effect.
3D Design Show 1983
This clock displayed
at the 1983 3D Design exhibition indicates to me that simplicity in design and
quality are key elements I need to learn from the research. The clock is made to a high standard and the
colours complement each other perfectly. The texture of the product creates a
soft toned effect which promotes the profile of the deep red hands of the clock.
A clever design feature is showing the clock face blank, giving a modern look.
3D
Design Show 1982
This glass vase
exhibited at the 3D Design show, 1982, just exudes class. This is style shown
at its best. It is functional, looks modern, simple design and would suit any
room environment.
The product is made to a high standard and quality and would
command high a retail price.
Interestingly all the products I have been attracted to are
from the 1980’s shows, but all are still today modern and relevant. These are
key values in the heritage and development of the Manchester Metropolitan over
the past years.
Through looking at these random products I have learnt key
values that my product should follow.
The product should be a simple design, not complicated, as
less is more. The product should be functional and made to a high quality.
