The Art of Plastics Design 2005

The Art of Plastics Design 2005
Berlin, Germany, 18-19 October 2005, Conference Proceedings
How do you make products that appeal to the senses? Consumers are demanding aesthetic appeal as well as functional attributes. How do you turn a utility product into a desirable item?
Plastics are tremendously versatile materials, replacing traditional materials. They offer many new design opportunities, because of their ease of processing and decorating. Special effects can be incorporated and extravagant shapes created so that even the most mundane of items can become a work of art. These effects are much cheaper to achieve with plastics than materials such as metals. Developments include special effects, soft touch, decorative films, scents and seductive colours.
Design innovations are appearing in many markets from cars to packaging, PCs to phones, and domestic appliances to medical devices.
This first international conference on The Art of Plastics Design brought together designers, manufacturers, plastics engineers and end-users, together with producers of innovative plastics materials.
