Reflections
One product that really caught my eye during the red dot design museum is this grey chair design by a designer in IKEA.
As you can see there is no structure at the back of the seat to create this curvature.
Yet how did the designer does it in a way that it curves? They uses the tension between the weaving of the lines to shape this design.
You can see there is a saturation of close knitted lines , and compare to a more sparse one. The difference is the one that creates the tension and shape the back of the chair.
It is a genius idea!

Some other stuff that I learn from the trip :
- Materials and texture choice change the user tactile experience.
- Variety of contrasting materials makes the product different and experiential as compared to existing product in the marketplace
- Usage of new materials brings about new experience for the user.
After going to the red dot design museum, I learn about breaking boundaries of what is already considered a norm in the market in terms of aesthetics. Many of the products in red dot design resume are beautiful and they use very unique materials to create the appearance, for example the google phone case. The unique and color palate is something I have never seen before in the marketplace. Yet such design truly caught my eye.
In addition, talking about vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner below gives off a feeling of dominance, stability and hardiness. The color choice and material selection was also unique to what is already existing in the market.
As such, to make a product beautiful, I can consider not just the form that needs to be interesting, but also the material selection and color choice.
