There’s something about a beautiful product. From the moment you play with it you’re hooked.You want it, you need it and you won’t rest until its yours.

Every product available today is an idea. The idea starts off as a thought process with potential. While there are many ideas that can be turned into products only a few actually create excitement.

Beautiful products must enhance the value of life. If a product does not amplify its purpose and evoke euphoria it’s just an unnecessary object occupying space and time.

Simplicity, aesthetics & functionality maybe some of the qualities that get associated with a beautiful product however these can be achieved only through proper design and execution.

Design is the manifestation of an idea. It takes good design to push the idea from conception to existence. For an idea to be accepted well it has to be communicated well.

To the user a new feature adds value to the product.A well designed feature adds weight to the acceptance of the idea and can even revolutionize the perception of a class of products. Apple revolutionized the touch experience and introduced its users to an experience that set the benchmark for all smartphones.

The concept of touch was a feature that several phone manufacturers introduced. It was only through good design that the idea moved from a blueprint idea to a differentiating idea.

Consumers buy products and the one aspect all consumers seek is value for money. Products don’t build themselves they are developed by teams of managers and engineers. It takes proper execution to conduct an orchestra and produce a beautiful symphony. Likewise it also takes impeccable execution to produce a beautiful product.

Core to execution lies effective processes and communication. While quality is not a differentiation lack of quality will definitely downplay the expected results. So product manufacturers should constantly look back and ask themselves, "Is it enough?"

If a product is delivered is it enough? If a product fails to generate awe and interest is it enough? Could better execution set the product apart from others in its class. Execution encompasses everything from conception to realization of the product. Beautiful products do not happen by accident they grow out of beautiful execution.

In the end products will come and go but the beautiful ones will live on forever at least in our memories, in case studies and museums.
