PROJECT BRIEF

In this studio, we will consider the role of emotions in product design. By learning about
perception and emotion, you will learn to design products that will be truly desirable.
Design a kitchen product or product collection for
boiling/heating water.

Why food + drinks? We have created this brief for several reasons.

• Making food or drinks is very interactive involving all of the senses
• Eating and drinking are very symbolic and pleasurable activities
• These products don’t rely on advanced technology
• The underlying functions are simple leaving plenty of room to make the product emotional
• Possible products are a perfect size for you to make models (i.e. not too big but also not
too small).

Who is it for?

Unfortunately, you cannot just design the collection for yourself, and you will be allocated one of the following user groups to help guide your design.
