From a retrospective view, the creation of the Institute of Industrial Design in Rosario was a significant contribution to the development of Argentine industrial design because it gave raise to the acknowledgment of both the importance and the value that design provides to the integral quality of the product. Its impact went beyond the local sphere due to an unprecedented proposal: to work closely with industry. No less important was the constitution of the work team which -as early as 1962- was based on multidisciplinary and collaborative design. This paper deals with IDI history and its characteristics as well as the research developed by the Laboratory of Applied Ergonomics and the Laboratory of Aesthetics of Design. The innovative way of working is addressed articulating conversations and texts. It is important to highlight that -in spite of the Institute closure- IDI students, professors, and professionals have maintained, as a legacy, its practices throughout their professional activities.
