TI  - DESIGN FOR EMOTIONAL DURABILITY: THE CASE OF HOUSEHOLD LIGHT DESIGN
AB  - Designers’ hands-on experience in research through design process contributes them to produce
and share knowledge from their own design practices. In this study, the primary purpose was exploring
sustainable design concepts and developing solutions for improving the product lifespan of household light
with research through design process. With a particular focus on “emotionally durable design”, “product
personalisation”, and “localisation” were considered fruitful concepts. The do-it-yourself (DIY) approach,
which means that users participate in production, and the halfway product rationale, which leaves space for
users to complete the production, were the concepts used in personalisation. The outcome of the research
through design process was a wall lamp manufactured with different scales of production, involving
personalisation features facilitated by DIY and halfway product rationale. For “localisation”, different scales of
production opportunities were explored, and a design kit as a halfway product was considered as a sustainable
design solution. DIY approach was benefited for producing complementary lace lampshade. In the design
for sustainability framework, it is seen that experimenting and engaging with locally available materials and
manufacturing capabilities in the research through design process nurtured developing sustainable design
solutions.
