There are varieties of products around us. As a consumer, we focus more on the appearance of a product, the function of the product and the value of the product. We are always trying to find a product, a design which has the best solution to match our specific needs. Designers also focus on the appearance, the function, the value of a product, but we are more interested in the story behind a product that is how the designer comes to this solution and through which way the designer can communicate to the customers through his or her design.
After many projects I’ve done, I find it is the hardest part. The product, the design is not independently exists. ‘Emotion’ is always emphasized, the product, the design should make dialogue to the users. If we can see the emotion exist in a product, we may see it as part of our life, through this way, the product can be more close to our life. This can be the maximum value the product can reach which is more important than the function, the appearance of it. Many similar products can give customers the same function, the appearance can be changed easily, but emotion is irreplaceable.
The video talks a lot of chair design. It reminds me one of the chair design shown in the Power House Museum – Young Hearts Swing Freely. Patterns made by strings with different colors really give the boring chair a new life. The design is quite special from nowadays modern chair designs. It reminds me the time when I was a child, my grandma did weaving beside me.
The kitchen design, the room separate cupboard are really cool. We are living in the age with large population, room saving is quite important and they can make our life easier with reducing the steps to solve a problem. The light design is awesome, it can be adjusted to fit different customer’s need. Why we like these designs? The reason is they are closely connected to our life. They are designed to match the environment, they are designed to match more customers’ favor, and they are designs for living.
