We accompany industrial products throughout the entire development process – from initial analysis and concept design to full-scale production.
By integrating materials, assembly methods, and manufacturing processes early on, we ensure that every design is both technically sound and economically efficient. The result: products that perform flawlessly in production and in everyday use.

“Achieving simplicity and clarity in industrial design means taking the time to refine every detail.”

We take a human-centred approach to design and always consider how something feels and how intuitive it is to use. As a basic building block, VDI/VDID 2424 also serves as a technical guideline for the product, its usability and its positive effect on the user group. Usability engineering forms a key element of our development process, aligning user needs, technological capabilities, and business requirements to create well-balanced product solutions.


Working hand in hand with our engineering teams, we create design solutions that unite ergonomics, usability, and manufacturability. This results in industrial design that performs in the real world – from lab instruments to industrial-grade tools.

FAQ Industrialdesign

What exactly is industrial design?

Industrial design focuses on developing serial products by balancing functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics. It’s not just about how a product looks, but how it works, how it can be manufactured, and how it feels in its intended context. At Eckstein Design, we combine creative design expertise with technical feasibility.

How does a typical industrial design process work?

Every project starts with a thorough analysis – focusing on users, requirements, and market conditions. We then move into concept development, visual design, and CAD refinement. Through iterative prototyping, we test and optimize until the final product is ready for market and production.

Which industries does Eckstein Design serve?

We work with clients in medical technology, industrial equipment, mobility, consumer goods, packaging, and smart electronics. Our experience ranges from ergonomic handheld tools to complex machine housings.

What’s the difference between industrial design and product design?
Industrial design emphasizes the technical, ergonomic, and manufacturing aspects of serial production.
Product design focuses more on brand impact, emotion, and user experience.
At Eckstein Design, both disciplines are closely intertwined — creating holistic solutions that unite function and identity.
How long does an industrial design project take?
Timelines vary depending on the project’s scope and complexity. Minor design refinements can be completed within a few weeks, while full-scale product developments may take several months. We structure every project into clear phases — from analysis to market-ready production.
