Design in the 21st century goes beyond simple product aesthetics to incorporate aspects of interactivity and functionality. Objects are designed to meet the needs and wants of users, creating engaging experiences and fostering interaction.

In this era of "post-industrial design", designers are exploring new possibilities using advanced technologies, innovative materials and creative approaches. The shapes of the products can be designed in such a way as to facilitate their use, to create emotional connections with the users or to arouse their curiosity.
