You come to the salon with home appliances and electronics, interact with the product, look at its functionality and convenience, without even thinking, that you intuitively understand how it works.

INTUITIVE DESIGN

For the first time intuitive design appeared in the 80’s. Previously, interfaces were complex, they were not user-centric. People had to go through training first, and only then master the interface of the program.

I was recently given a coffee maker, I unpacked it and I saw a nice design of the product that would fit in most modern kitchen sets. But it’s not just its appearance, I intuitively understood how to use it, although I never had a coffee maker.

Some experts are developing new chips, matrices, and software, while others are experimenting with new materials. And there are those who think how to make the product more accessible and functional, to combine many functions in one high-quality product. Don’t just to combine, but also to make it so that it’s convenient to use this product.

Thanks to designers, we intuitively master new gadgets, various applications, home appliances and so on. Designers make our daily life more comfortable and beautiful.
