Gerardo Mari Design & Product Development

Designer, inventor and musician; born in Santa Fe, Argentina in 1977. In 1996 he becomes Electro mechanic Technician from the Escuela Industrial Superior. In 2003 he obtained his degree in Industrial Design from the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba. Because of his two lines of education, as industrial designer and electro mechanic technician, can integrate all the aspects of design, making the product development and engineering for production, arriving at creative and innovative solutions in products. The concepts he has developed, his research in new ideas, his inventions and products are the result of a particular cultural interpretation and a good handling of the ergonomic and the semiotic aspects of the objects and their symbolic meaning. Gerardo Mari offers product research and development services for design focused and innovative products companies. The development of an idea is the key for a good product; it has to take into account technology, materials mechanisms, cost, ecology and design. Affording the product development in a creative way leads to innovation, simplification of the product, cost reduction, aesthetics, arriving to innovative solutions. The process has to be always mind open, ready to share knowledge with technicians and engineers in order to reach the best design result. The project has to be coherent with the company possibilities: scale of production, investments and target price. He had collaborated with companies such as Artemide, Danese Milano, Breil, Astep and Salar.
