This paper examines the observer’s reactions in relation with industrial design, with or without additional information about the designer's intentions, while considering that the observer's actions are also influenced by their own experience. After presenting the current state of the field, three hypotheses were considered: H01: Observers assess the product design the same way, regardless of whether they receive information about the designer or not. H02: Observers estimate the price of the product the same way, regardless of whether they receive information about the designer or not. H03: Information about the designer and information about the manufacturing company have the same influence on the observer. Subsequently, questionnaires were presented to the participants in multiple stages. After validating the data by calculating the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, the Z-test was applied to test the hypotheses.
