What does an industrial designer do?
1 Answer

An industrial designer plays an important role in the production of manufactured products. They come up with concepts and create drawings and schematics that manufacturers use as guides when making everything from cars to furniture to housewares. Typically, they earn college degrees in fine arts, architecture, industrial design or engineering prior to working in the field. Some well-known industrial designers include Philippe Starck, Dieter Rams, Marcel Breuer and Charles and Ray Eames. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of furniture and decorative objects.
