Abstract

As the technology progress, innovation has become a key factor in developing products that serves the user and attracts his attention The product designer has to about finding quick and new form solutions based on innovation, since the innovate product is always new and unique. The Mobius strip is one of the well-known geometric shapes and belong to non-orientable surface that has one edge and one surface which is used in the design of industrial products.

The research aims to highlight how to benefit from the concept of the Mobius strip in the field of product design in an innovative way that achieves user acceptance and competitiveness and in the design of new innovative design products, The Mobius strip facilitates the creation of innovative designs of industrial products, allowing the designer to explore and apply unique concepts that challenge traditional models and open up a new field for innovation.

The research studies innovation, the characteristics of the Mobius strip, the various shapes of non-orientable surfaces, and the applications of the Mobius strip (non-orientable surfaces) in the design of industrial products.

Experimental workshops were held with students, which resulting in new and innovative designs, and the students assured the impact of the Mobius strip's contribution to deriving innovative design solutions, which enhances innovation in the design of industrial products.
