Product Design
Through lectures and design activities, students learn to navigate the design process from start to finish, combining technical skills with aesthetic experimentation to create highly innovative products. Through lessons on design tools, students learn how to use software to create professional-level 3D models and product presentations.
During this master’s program, students will participate in a series of research projects with a strong focus on innovation, in collaboration with some of the most successful design brands in Italy, accompanied in the development of their projects by top-level art directors. Students will thereby experience an innovation-oriented design studio alongside key figures in the design world.
They will be supported by a faculty consisting of experts in the various disciplines involved in professional design. Students will find themselves at the heart of a highly stimulating and fully immersive educational environment, focused on the authentic relationship between research and design, in line with the methods used by some of the largest international design partners today.
With specific insights into project culture and the current design scene, and a unique analysis of design languages, students will learn how to define products from a cultural, social, and market-based perspective. Technical skills and specific research into color palettes, materials, and their applications enable students to define their own personal strategy, characterized by originality, individuality, and high professional standards.
