Design as a source of suffering

Design jako źródło cierpień

Author(s): Adam Trwoga / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 01/2017

Keywords: film;animated film;design;art;modernism;modernity;Torill Kove;childhood;family;bicycle;furniture;chair;Scandinavia;Norway;Denmark;Adam Trwoga

The article discusses the criticism of modernist design contained into Torill Kove’s autobiographical film Me and My Moulton (Canada/Norway 2014), which takes place in the provincial Norwegian town of Hamar in 1965. The director’s parents were architects with very specific, “modern” tastes, and the interior design of the flats of the film’s protagonists looks akin to an exhibition of Scandinavian design. In addition to the Moulton bicycle (a UK designer folding model) mentioned in the title, a symbol of the mismatch between the parents’ aesthetics and their children is Arne Jacobsen’s famous Ant three-legged chair, from which their little girls are constantly falling during meals.

Design Practices and Aesthetic Experience

Praktyki designu a doświadczenie estetyczne

Author(s): Alicja Głutkowska-Polniak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 9/2020

Keywords: design; aesthetic experience; aesthetization; environment

The study of design practices in aesthetic terms (aesthetization and aesthetic experience) may appear, seemingly, trivial and irrelevant. However, the human environment today is in such a fundamental transition that failure to take account of this aspect is unfounded. The aim of design is primarily to produce artefacts, to transform them into a natural environment, but also, perhaps even above all, to maintain a balanced relationship between the ecosphere and the “arti cial” human world, created and orchestrated for him. It is not just about designing an object, a system, an interaction or relationship that guarantees simplicity and e ciency, that is, a de ned utility, but a deeper re ection on how a particular person experiences it and what the consequences this experience brings. Therefore, the purpose of design in this article will be expanded to include an aesthetic aspect, because isolation from the aesthetic criterion (regardless of how we understand it) in contemporary design practices seems to be di cult to maintain.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DESIGN

ПРОЕКТИРАНЕ НА КЛИЕНТСКИ ПРЕЖИВЯВАНИЯ

Author(s): Pavlina Vodenova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Issue: 3/2020

Keywords: design; customer experience; business opportunity

Until recently, businesses could only rely on the quality of their products to introduce new products, services or innovations of various kinds. The success was only the result of the companies' focus on providing reliable and highly functional products / services on the market.This is no longer the case today. Most of the big brands have become marketing machines, competing with the rest - direct competitors, instead of focusing on consumer experiences, in the context of the design of their products and services. Product differentiation is becoming a trivial trick and today is no longer seen as a success factor in big business.The design of customer experiences is aimed at injecting purpose and empathy for everything related to the use of the product or service.Many startups, which in the recent past were just start-ups, now manage billions, thanks to the fact that they have focused on the customer experience both in the design of their products / services and in the business model, instead of marketing and strategy. for sales.Focusing on designing customer experiences gives businesses the opportunity to differentiate in a more meaningful way. It is even predicted that customer experiences will exceed the price and the product as key differentiators of the brand by 2022.Customer experience design is the practice of designing products / services with a focus on quality and attention to the user experience. Each point of contact within the customer's interaction with the product / service is designed to deliver experiences based on the promise of the brand. It requires companies to intertwine storylines through online and offline experiences that enliven the brand.Designing customer experiences is an effective way to increase the company's base, with the customer first and foremost. If customers are satisfied with the product / service, as well as with their experience in purchasing, they will become loyal defenders of the brand and will contribute to expanding the company's market share.This is the undisputed advantage of user experience design - customers are the key to success. Adopting practices that enhance the customer experience will undoubtedly lead to a return on investment and provide a solid foundation on which the brand can continue to grow.

Design as an element of the service company’s strategy

Design as an element of the service company’s strategy

Author(s): Monika Tomczyk,Monika Spychalska-Wojtkiewicz / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2/2018

Keywords: design; design management; service enterprises; innovation; SME sector

As the research conducted by Design Council in UK shows for every £ 1 invested in design, businesses can expect over £ 20 in increased revenues (Design Council, 2018). This article raises the question whether it is justified to include design in a service company’s strategy, and companies’ readiness to treat design as a key element of their strategy. The goal of the article is to describe the external and internal conditions that must exist for service companies to incorporate design into their strategies and use it as a generator of value for them. To verify the above issues the desk research analysis and answers from experts gathered during individual in depth interviews has been used. In the course of conducting interviews, it could be noted that despite the fact that experts come from different countries, as well as worked for various entities, they have very convergent views on the entities problems in the implementation of design, as well as on creative innovation management. Experts also had similar guidance for these organizations.

Sustainable design. Design approaches and directions of development

Sustainable design. Проектні підходи і напрямки розвитку

Author(s): Natalia Sergeevna Vergunova / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 38/2020

Keywords: design; sustainable design; artistic solution; shaping; recycling; upcycling;

The purpose of the article covers the question of «Sustainable design», its design approaches, and possible directions of development. The results can be used to clarify the theoretical basis of environmentally conscious design and improve the corresponding algorithms in the design process. The methodology centers on applying f historical-comparative and chronological methods, as well as the method of terminological analysis, which helped to identify and consider terminological interpretations of recycling and upcycling as design approaches, and other terms related to the concept of environmentally conscious design. The scientific novelty of the study is to broaden the understanding of complex consideration of design at the present stage in the context of theoretical and methodological concepts with an environmental component, in particular with environmentally conscious design. Conclusions. The concept of «Sustainable design», covered in this article, as an environmentally conscious design, has a sufficient theoretical study. The practical significance can be represented in the form of two main design approaches, operating with the secondary use («re-use») of both raw materials (recycling) and the product itself (upcycling) in order to create a new consumer object. Possible directions for the development of Sustainable design cover professional communities of designers, associations of companies and organizations, state programs, but the most relevant are environmentally-oriented, educational programs for the training of qualified people in the field of design. These specialists will operate with optimal approaches for the development of facilities with environmental value, as well as improve them, identifying the most appropriate design solutions. The design results of these specialists will also contribute to the formation of public awareness regarding the «culture of behavior» with household waste and the rational use of resources.

In defense of Forsey’s Aesthetics of Design

In defense of Forsey’s Aesthetics of Design

Author(s): Monika Favara-Kurkowski / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: design; aesthetics; function; beauty; aesthetic appreciation;

In philosophical aesthetics, discussions on design objects place the notion of Functional Beauty at the fore. Such a philosophical approach can be found in Jane Forsey’s book The Aesthetics of Design that focuses on the notion of function to promote the aesthetic value of design and develops an interpretation of Kantian Dependent Beauty around it. Lucía Jiménez Sánchez has recently put forward several flaws of Functional Beauty accounts. She presented several practical cases as evidence for the narrowness of Functional Beauty accounts. Two cases are presented against Jane Forsey’s theory of Dependent Beauty, holding that it excludes other properties from appreciation that are not necessarily related to functionality, i.e., expressive properties. The purpose of this article is to show that these criticisms leveled at Jane Forsey’s proposal for an aesthetic theory of design are unfounded and are based on a misunderstanding of the structure of judgments of beauty in her system. Despite this, these criticisms highlight the need to clarify the purpose of the aesthetics of design.

Contemporary Latvian Design in Symbiosis with Local Handicraft Tradition

Contemporary Latvian Design in Symbiosis with Local Handicraft Tradition

Author(s): Inese Sirica / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: design; Latvian; ethnic identity; craft; heritage; museum

The contemporary musealization of Latvian design objects or the inclusion of high-quality examples in the Latvian National Museum Holdings began in 2005. Established three years later in 2008, the Latvian Design of the Year Award has since then attracted attention to this field, prompting further theoretical discourse. The publicly available narrative on 21st century Latvian design often points out the strong influence of local crafts and ethnic cultural heritage. An important impetus in contemporary, ethnically conscious design is the culture of the Song and Dance Celebration, within which the outfits of festival participants are created. This article identifies the application of traditional Latvian crafts in the works of Latvian artists and designers, visualizing the ideas and forms of ethnic identity. The analysis focuses on the general context of Latvian design: institutions supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Latvian Design of the Year Award and FOLD, the digital magazine of creative industries. Sources used include opinion articles and the public messages of companies. To facilitate theoretical understanding of the topic, it was important to take into account the theory of national identity and the museum narrative as well as the history of European design, especially at the turn of the 20th/21st centuries. It should be noted that the history of applied art and design in Latvia during the 20th century is still in the research stage. A historical insight into the construction of the Latvian traditional craft narrative, which began at the end of the 19th century, is also provided so as to promote greater comprehension of Latvian design. Essentially, it is a narrative of national identity, deliberately constructed through the craft practices, raw materials and compositional techniques characteristic of peasant culture.
