Materiality

Thinking about the physical way in which users relate to products. Does the object get better or worse with time? It’s about designing an object that can age with grace, while also providing a multisensory experience and eliciting satisfaction and pleasure derived from the look, feel, and smell of a product. Or seeing the beauty by celebrating the imperfection in the transience and fallibility of our interactions with our products, which allows users to embed aspects of their personality into the material of a product to make it unique.
