GROW OLD SERIES
Hypothesis
Objects that are open to interpretation and have the potential of developing in different ways acquire memories and emotional attachment over time. How can design promote this bond between objects and their users and thus prolong their relationship allowing them to grow old together?
This project is motivated by a desire to create solutions to the negative effects of obsolescence, excessive consumerism, technology and lack of emotional attachment between users and their products. "Grow Old Series" consists of objects that have the ability to transform and recreate themselves, representing cycles.
Products Showcase: Grow Old Series
Regenerator
Regenerator
The Regenerator is a bubble lamp that gives rebirth to itself with time. The bubble machine inside the base structure creates bubbles that are reflected with the red LED spot lights from the bottom. Unexpected random shapes, sounds and different colors occur during the creation of the bubbles.
Transformer
The Transformer is a combination of a knitting machine, a table and a lamp. While unraveling the knit on the lamp, it recreates itself in the machine allowing us to observe the analog transformation. At the same time, the user hears the voices of the machine and observe the shadows created by the lamp while rotating.
