INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Product Design
Industrial design is the use of both applied art and science to create and develop products that benefit both the user and manufacture. Industrial designers also known as Product designers prepare drawings and illustrations of products that assist in the decision making process. Once the decisions have been made they then prepare the models or prototypes to be demonstrated or tested. However products such as textiles and furniture have designers who specialise in their development. From original idea to final product there is a long and involved process even for something as simple as a small home appliance. A large amount of development time is required to design a product that is marketing success.
Industrial designers Paul Taylor and Gerry Mussett designed the Axis kettle in 1993. Although Gerry Musset explains how Kambrook and The Key Centre for Design were involved in the concept development and models he left the project when it got to the production drawing stage. Kambrook then took over the kettle’s production.

The Axis kettle is designed for all demographics with safe, convenient everyday use, easy to pick up, cordless electrical connection, at affordable prices. Constructed mostly of stainless steal or plastic materials.
In time researchers observed that kettles were often over filled and that users would typically boil a kettle and walk away only to return and boil it again. To try and prevent this from happening the designers included three features to help encourage users to conserve electricity and water. Firstly a temperature gauge was designed and fitted to the kettle, to indicate that the water was at an appropriate temperature to make tea or coffee. Secondly a volume indicator was installed at the top of the jug, clearly marking the water level. Then
