Nokia Establishes Design Studio in India

Nokia announced the establishment of its first design studio in India (and the first in a series of satellite design studios). The studio, which is part of a two-year partnership with Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, will lend to new design ideas not only for India but global markets.

The studio will explore a range of design trends and themes, and will also conduct detailed research into color and material trends in India, mobile use of the net and how it affects cell phone design. The Global headquarters of Nokia at Espoo, Finland, already houses its first ever design studio.

Similar studios are planned in other parts of the world, with one opening in London later this year. Nokia designers comprise of researchers, anthropologists, engineers, technology specialists and more. Expect to see some innovative designs from Espoo soon.
