DESIGN IN INDIA

DESIGN IN INDIA

It is not an easy thing to write about design in India, because for whatever you observe the opposite may also be true. It is functional self organization:some things just work successfully despite the absence of an imposed system. It can be observed in seemingly impenetrable knots of electricity cables that still can be repaired. The capacity to informally organize also forms the basis for the functioning of the phenomenal artisan labour force,which appears to be both an asset and  a disadvantage.it strongly  manifests in the fashion industry and there it implies that clothes with complicated details can be produced in considerable quantities. On the other hand the ability to resort to this force may be a distraction from design experiments.

          Serviceability can be considered a special quality of Indian culture, so much so that an important part of service industry feeds Indian economy. English speaking call centres have silently acquired business. In design in general, it is established that service design deserves much more attention, because services may turn out to be important contributors to sustainability in relation to product use. In India this is observed as well. There could be an opportunity to address service design together.
