I believe that design has to be about something and that it should be meaningful. It seems as though todays design stands and falls with the choice of the right shape and materials. The immaterial factors of an object or product are of great importance to me and is something I will think about in the design process.
Why does a doorbell have to be a plastic button that makes a terrible noice?
Peter van der Vagts doorbell ´Buttoms Up´ has little to show for itself at first sight. It is only when you press the button that you experience something. The combination of seeing the hammer tapping the glass illusrtates the whole principle of the doorbell. Here experience definetly comes before product. Recognition and surprise together provides the experience.
