At the same time we are living in a design dominated world, which gets new inspirations by changing production processes from the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0, that will transform design, operation, service, and manufacture of products. Generating design as “form follows function”, with the requirement, like Dieter Rams said, “less design as possible” shows the timeless reasonable fact of classic style with focussing the end of natural sources. The demand on the beauty in design will never end. But what does “Beauteousness” means in design in the year 2020? How to generate new or timeless beauty in design? How to implement consumers demand for a wider variety of increasingly customized products. The earlier definition of beauteousness during the renaissance time specified the term “beauteousness” in relationship to proportion, which had been measured with length in combination with the development of creating central perspective in art, to focus a harmonious balance of creative elements. -

To this aim, an ergonomic analysis of egress/ingress postures has been performed on a physical mock-up, which is considered as a reliable tool when investigating driving space. Six workers with different anthropometries participated to the experiment. The influence of three seat heights, two headlining heights and three headlining widths were tested while participants performed a simulated mail delivery task. Based on goniometers and video observations, a Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was conducted. Perceived discomfort was estimated with a Category Partitioning Scale (CP-50). Results showed that REBA scores were mainly at medium risk (5.18 ± 1.75). Discomfort scores were significantly influenced by seat height (χ2 (2) = 7.79, p = 0.02), especially for short participants when seat height was equal to 760 mm (Z = -2.21, p = 0.03). -

Handling Subjective Product Properties in Engineering, Food and Fashion
INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2014 Dubrovnik - Croatia, May 19 - 22, 2014. HANDLING SUBJECTIVE PRODUCT PROPERTIES IN ENGINEERING, FOOD AND FASHION C. Eckert, G. Bertoluci and B. Yannou Keywords: product evaluation, subjective properties, comparison between domains 1. Introduction Design processes are driven by the requirements that they need to meet and the constraints that the products, design processes and organisations are subject to. Many of the resulting product properties can be assessed objectively, but many products across a range of domains have very important characteristics that are not objectively assessable through direct measurements or simulation models. In engineering design these include properties like handling ability or engine noise in car or trucks. These properties affect the consumer perception of the product and are some important factors buying decisions and brand perception. Engineering companies find these properties often harder to handle than objectively measureable properties, such as emission or fuel consumption. While in engineering these subjective properties are important factors that influence design processes and create a certain degree of process iteration, subjective factors play a much more important part in other design domains such as food and fashion. This paper contrasts engineering practise with our observations in the food industry, which relies very heavily on user and expert panels, and the fashion industry, which trusts the assessments of professional designers and rarely interacts with customers; and reflects over lessons that could be learned for engineering design. After discussing design methods dealing with subjective properties of products in section 2, the methodlogy of our research is explained in section 3. The domains of automotive design, food innovation and fashion design are discussed in terms of their contexts, players in the design process, constraints and the way subjective properties are handled. -
LED Technology: More Meaning to Automotive Design
How LED technology is bringing more meaning to automotive design Diving into the light cluster to understand LED lighting implementations While today’s vehicle owners are unlikely to have lights in their car that can be repaired without the support of a garage, cars at the beginning of the 20th century were lucky to have lights at all. Vehicle lighting was considered an optional extra back then, while the lights available were more focused on making the vehicle visible at night rather than lighting the way. Beautiful brass lamps, adapted from horse-drawn carriages and powered by oil, were the norm. Featuring four glass sides, the glass protected the flame from the wind while in motion. Acetylene gas, generated by water dripping on carbide crystals, or under pressure in a cylinder-based system known as Prest- O-Lite, provided alternative approaches. Over time, the electrically-powered incandescent light bulb was introduced, with their mirror-backed reflective housings providing an improved view of the road ahead during night-time jaunts. Even back then features such as adaptive headlights were developed. With the lamps directly linked to the steering system, they allowed drivers to peer around dark corners1. ADAPTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND TRENDS In recent years, the incandescent bulb has slowly moved into retirement around the entire vehicle’s lighting system. Halogen headlights have been giving way to HID Xenon solutions, while some manufacturers have also integrated LEDs and even lasers in their implementations. These changes have reduced power consumption while also improving driver visibility, making them feel safer on the road. -
