David Caon: An impressive career spanning 30 years in industrial design
From his time at UniSA to a career spanning multiple decades and continents, David Caon’s approach is to be an active participant in whatever he wants to do.

David enrolled in Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) in 1996, motivated by his artistic abilities and fascination with cars. During the course, exposure to designers such as Mario Bellini, Philippe Starck and Ettore Sottsass, who made everyday objects stylish, encouraged David to make research part of his process, and their designs continue to be referenced in his work today.

Having worked in Paris and Milan before setting up his own studio, David shared that his work now is “less and less about aesthetics”, and more about designing functional and usable products that people can appreciate and enjoy. Today you can find his name on the flatware, crockery, and woven blankets on Qantas, whom he has collaborated with for more than 20 years. He’s also recently returned to Adelaide to host a masterclass with UniSA’s Industrial Design students.
