RESUMO

This research intends to build up a brief chronology of product design development process in the state of Rio de Janeiro, following its three main areas of influence: professional practice (designers, offices, companies, products and projects), design promotion (events, conferences, exhibitions, awards and competitions) and design tuition (the formative path of product design college education). As today this information is either dispersed or unknown to the public, this work intends to uncover, organize and eventually analyse this amount of data in order to provide documentation and also rescue the development of industrial design in Rio de Janeiro from its oblivion. This work focused on the historical development of product design, as long as previous works have already started out the research on the history of graphic design in Brazil. Qualitative techniques were mainly used to obtain and process data such as the search into the actual bibliography (recurring to primary sources whenever possible), the contact (by letter, interviews and/or access to websites) with professionals involved in the events mentioned in the text and the search into public or private files. The research outcome was organized into three independent chronologies which identified and related the different areas of influence of product design that were documentary in the design college tuition evolutionary process. This brought evidence to initiatives in the scope of design diffusion in Rio de Janeiro. The last chapter presents conclusions pertaining to the analysis of the main line of design evolutionary process. Being a regional oriented research, concentrated in Rio de Janeiro, it may turn out to be a relevant contribution to Brazilian design historiography.
