diseño de artefactos {o de [objetos] útiles}


Explanation:
Yo usaría la palabra "artefactos" pues se trata de eso. Otras dos alternativas serían "objetos útiles" o simplemente útiles, incluso puede ser "utensilios". Objetos que, además de ser útiles, están bien diseñados: no solamente tienen cualidades estéticas apreciables y además otras cualidades físicas: livianos, fáciles de almacenar, etc.
Son, además, carísimos... :)
