Manchester Metropolitan Design Show Products


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.

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.

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.
