Summary/Abstract: Based on both marketing and applied art approaches to industrial design, a two-phase study was conducted which measured consumer evaluations of competing product designs. Study 1 has proved that product design determines consumer-preference formation in choice situations: consumers consistently attach meanings to distinctive designs and preference for a given product design even lowers price sensitivity. Study 2 has shown that the characteristics of product design determine consumer evaluations.
