Reflection

Objects present in our daily lives play a role as facilitators, creators, mediators of personally meaningful experiences.

- products can provide situations, which allow for meaningful experiences and self-determined action

- small design intervention can de-familiarize and open up new behavioral scripts

- offering evocative situation for people to explore

- with goals of transient benevolent encounters and positive social interaction

- endowed with values that are individual and social at the same time.

- objects mobilizing our innate positive intention.

 
 

This curiously simple accessory, is a disarming antidote to “headphone bubble” syndrome, and missed opportunities for serendipitous moments of human connection.
