Industrial Design Class of 2026
Finishing Touch
In a moment where automation and technology accelerate production, the finishing touch remains human.
It is judgment, restraint, taste, and responsibility that cannot be automated.
This exhibition represents that moment:The last touch before our work enters the world.

ID = industrial design
iD = identity
ID stands for Industrial Design — but it also stands for identity.
A fingerprint is the most human form of identification. It is evidence of touch, proof of authorship, and a mark that cannot be replicated.
Just as a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person, the finishing touch identifies the designer behind the work.
