Inquiry into small scale industry production for interior projects
Small-scale production typically refers to the production of goods in lower volumes compared to large-scale factories. It often involves fewer employees, limited automation, and a more flexible approach to production. Despite its smaller size, small-scale manufacturing offers several advantages over its larger counterparts such as flexibility, agility, cost-Efficiency, and niche market penetration.
Interior design is a diverse field. Each interior design project has its challenges, limitations and opportunities. After conceptualization of the project, the main task is execution of the project at specified site. With changing times, interior designers have been developing new concepts of spaces with explorations of new elements, products, materials, finishes, textures etc. Individual projects demand specific requirements of these above-mentioned things. The interior designers want sophisticated production in the designed spaces so they look forward to collaborating with industries which can produce products and elements as per their requirements and specification.
Small-scale industries can be a benefit for this interior design practice and vice versa. Small scale production can help to achieve multiple elements and repetitive production in the interior design project which make project timeline efficient and outcome more economical. It is important for interior designers to identify these small-scale industries early during the design process phase and also understand the requirements of the industries to support them better. Interior designer and small-scale industry collaboration can give unique design outcomes and experience to the client and end users.
