This paper is about the media presentations of industrial design in the context of consumption. I seek to answer two-fold research question: firstly, how are industrial design and consumption discussed in the economic media, and secondly, what are the meanings this combination produces? The research framework is thus interpretive and qualitative. The article is based on a sample of 130 articles from the economic papers published in Finland. In the concluding section I suggest that distinction, differentiation and stigmatisation are useful terms in interpreting the media representations of industrial design. The rhetoric of functionality and aesthetics is also discussed.
