Abstract

Conceptual design is a field that offers various aesthetic approaches to generation of nature-based product design concepts. Essentially, Conceptual Product Design (CPD) uses similarities based on the geometrical forms and functionalities. Furthermore, the CAD-based freehand sketch is a primary conceptual tool in the early stages of the design process. The proposed Conceptual Product Design concept is dealing with jewelleries that are inspired from space. Specifically, a number of galaxy features, such as galaxy shapes, wormholes and graphical representation of planet magnetic field are used as inspirations. Those space-based design ideas at a conceptual level can lead to further opportunities for research and economic success of the jewellery industry. A number of illustrative case studies are presented and new opportunities can be derived for economic success.

Highlights

  • The conceptual design inspired from different science fields can become a straightforward activity for the industrial designers

  • The current paper presents a series of products, at conceptual level, inspired from nature

  • A series of conceptual product designs were presented based on the design inspired from space

Summary

Introduction

The conceptual design inspired from different science fields can become a straightforward activity for the industrial designers. Several designers from different backgrounds (i.e., furniture design, fashion, transportation and architectural design) are using nature and its evolution as an inspiration for their product designs [1]. The main reason of that are the opportunities created for innovation and creativity (Figure 1). Conceptual design is a field that offers various aesthetic approaches to generation of naturebased product design concepts. Jewellery design has been around for thousands of years. It has changed and further developed over the years. Valuable metals and precious stones are designed, processed together for jewellery creations. Many new and innovative materials and techniques (i.e., CAD systems, rapid prototyping and 3D scanning methods, laser cutting and engraving systems etc.)
