The watershed between industrial design and handicraft design

The watershed between industrial design and handicraft design: industrial revolution.

"Handicraft industry, through thousands of years of experience and development, as far as possible without the use of large industrial equipment to complete. Industrial design refers to the design idea of mass production with large machines. The relationship between the two is at arm's length, and they draw nutrients from each other and always alternate with each other.

In a sense, industrial design is the evolution of handicraft industry, and in a sense, it is also degradation. Evolution lies in industrial production of functional, stable and accurate products, which can effectively improve efficiency, reduce costs and promote social development. Degeneration lies in uniqueness, artistry and special craftsmanship in most cases. Of course, it also includes metaphysics. "

The difference between industrial design and handicraft design;

Handicraft design is developed on the basis of handicraft industry, and it is an artistic design type which is mainly made by hand and supplemented by simple tools. It usually has the characteristics of strong historical inheritance and separation of single production, design and production.

Modern industrial design is based on modern industrial production, with machine mass production as the main body and modern science and technology as the arm. On the one hand, modern industrial design has a profound connection with traditional handicraft design, which is the new development of traditional handicraft design under the conditions of modern society; On the other hand, it is very different from the traditional handicraft design, mainly because it is based on modern industrial mass production and adopts batch and standardized production methods.
