Abstract
In this paper interface problem for industrial design is
researched. Effective interface management plays an

and innovation activity of enterprise. Industrial design is a
borderline subject intersected by trans-disciplinary and grows
up with the development of great industry. Industrial design
just like a bond in industry society to connect interactively the
subjects of aesthetics, ergonomics, marketing, creativity and
technology and form them to an organic whole and translate
advanced technology to commodity. The increase of
interactions of the subjects should bring management
questions at the same time of improving effects of study and
development. Based on the intersected characteristics of
industrial design, the cases such as origin of interface
questions, process of information, mission and characteristics
of interface management are discussed from the point of view
of design- user interface, design- marketing interface, designmanufacture
interface, art engineering knowledge interface
and man-machine interface. Specially the knowledge interface
