Abstract

For the past ten years, the Product and Form course has provided Master's students in design an  opportunity to delve into design that is as timeless as possible and reflects the built environment and architecture.

The main challenge is to strip the student-developed product concept of all excess and unnecessary elements. The result is uncompromising product concepts with carefully considered material choices and details.

The course has collaborated with companies such as Bang & Olufsen, Iittala, Meeko, and Genelec. Key components of the course include interesting excursions, visits from professional designers, course literature focusing on aesthetics and form-giving, weekly reflections centered on the creative ideation process, and one-on-one guidance meetings.

This exhibition is a compilation of projects carried out over the past ten years. The course is run by Lecturer in Industrial Design, Simo Puintila.

The information on artistic outputs in the Aalto Research Portal follows the reporting guidelines of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture. Therefore, each contribution requiring independent artistic activity is reported separately. For full details of the work and its contributors, please refer to information provided by the publisher.
