We recently had the honor of participating in a panel titled “Design for Industry 4.0,” organized by the Turkish Design Foundation. During this event, we shared our expertise and years of experience in the field of design. Drawing from our extensive work in industrial design, we discussed both our challenges and insights, offering a unique perspective on how design has evolved in the context of Industry 4.0.

Our presentation focused on the evolution of industrial design, emphasizing that today’s products are not merely about hardware and three-dimensional structures. Instead, we highlighted how products have become more holistic and comprehensive, incorporating interfaces and complementary elements that enhance user experience. We discussed how this integrated approach represents a new and complex frontier in design, which requires a deeper understanding of various interrelated components.

Through the projects we have undertaken, we demonstrated how this broader perspective on design is being applied in real-world scenarios, with the aim of contributing to the ongoing transformation in industrial design. We believe that the future of design lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate technology, functionality, and user-centric elements to create more intuitive and sustainable solutions.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Turkish Design Foundation for the invitation and to all the participants for their valuable engagement and insights. We look forward to continuing this dialogue and further advancing the role of design in shaping the future of Industry 4.0
