Background
This project aims to achieve two distinct outcomes – one physical and one theoretical. The first is creating interior objects using POM, a type of plastic only utilized in Industrial settings. The second outcome is a new theoretical model that explores the interplay between aesthetic experience and playfulness, through testing these objects.
Playful radiance – exploring playful aesthetics
Using the findings, we can shape and analyse our designs and deepen our understanding of how we form connections with products – and enjoy them, much like the experience of sitting on a glowing chair.
