Abstract
Although it has many definitions, design is related to shape things, the configuration of something. As a language, it uses signs and symbols to express itself. Thus, listening to designers about their creation processes becomes pertinent. This study counted with the participation of 23 product designers of particular relevance in the Portuguese landscape, who are part of the curatorship “Love at first sight”. Through a questionnaire it was possible to identify aspects and emotions that designers consider in the development of products, and a reflection was made on the impact of pleasure. The results reveal that “Practical,” “Simple,” “Emotional” and “Eco-friendly” are the most highlighted aspects by this group of professionals. Furthermore, it was concluded that it is important for designers to feel pleasure during the design process, without neglecting or excluding the user.
