HISTORY OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Bauhaus 1919 - 1933
 
The Belgium architect Henri Van de Velde designed the interiors 
for Samuel Bing's shop in Paris called "Art Nouveau". He went on 
to start up the "Art Academy and Polytechnical School" in 
Weimar, Germany.
In 1917 a magazine called "De Stijl" was published in 
Holland. This was the start of the Dutch modern movement using 
strong geometrical and abstract images with puer colour and form. 
The most famous being the painter Piet Mondrian.
In 1919, Walter Gropius took over the school in Weimar as 
director. He immediately merged the two schools of "Fine art" and 
"Applied Art" into one. Each student had two teachers, a painter 
and a craftsman. The most famous being the painters Paul Klee and 
Wassily Kandinsky. This system of education is the foundation of 
today's art schools.
Walter Gropius wanted to eliminate excessive ornamentation 
and let the function of the object express itself through its 
appearance. Materials technology had advanced so much that it 
was possible to make many new shapes.
In 1922, Gropius turned away from the ideals of art and craft 
towards machinery and its technologies.
The Nazis closed the school down in 1933 when Hitler came 
to power. Gropius and many others fled to America.
The first recorded use of the term "Industrial Designer" was in 
America in 1920.
The Industrial Revolution. 
 
The usual dates are given as 1730 to 1840, but this is now called 
the First Industrial Revolution as technological revolution is still 
going on now.


1st. Industrial Revolution 1730 - 1840
2nd. Industrial Revolution. 1860 - 1914
3rd. Industrial Revolution. 1951 -
The design of products has come a very long way and the 
role of the Industrial Designer is now highly valued. The internal 
components of many products are very similar if not the same. The 
mobile phone uses a mass produced chip available to any 
manufacturer. There are not that many different types of batteries.
It is the designers task to package these internal components into a 
unique produce. To do this they have to know all about the 
technical processes of production, the artistic values of colour, 
shape and form, the functionality of the product (ergonomics) and 
profile of the user (marketing). This has been going on for the last 
one hundred and fifty years and why it is important to learn how 
designers solved similar problems in the past.
Nothing is new, just a new arrangement of old ideas.
