Narratives

Capturing the unique shared history that exists between objects and users and embedding this into the product interaction. This can be done through gift giving, which initiates a narrative, or through creating a sense of nostalgia providing tangible metaphors to previously loved products or interactions. Or, using objects, materials or artefacts with existing stories highlighting and valuing an item for its previous history and creating a sense of provenance. Effectively, we are trying to capture a moment, create markers in time and build multilayered stories that evoke memories of first times, turning points, commemorations, and celebrations as well as linking us to family and friends through inherited objects, traditions, and shared moments.
