   Abstract : Design practices are to a large degree conceptually and methodologically based in ways of designing rooted in the 20th century. Some of the challenges that arise in contemporary design stem from an unawareness of design’s historicity, and the discrepancies between what design methods and concepts once were made to handle, and what we presently try to apply them to.

4. 2. Aesthetic Flexibility : In Industrial Design Practice

   Author : Torbjörn Andersson; Johan Ölvander; Renee Wever; Toni-Matti Karjalainen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; industrial design; product development; product modularity; product branding; and dual decision-making.;

   Abstract : Competition among companies that produce complex or large product portfolios has created a need to use modularity strategies not only to flexibly manage technical complexity in a cost-effective manner but also to produce visually appealing products. This research aims to understand how the visual appearance of products is affected by modular product development strategies and creates coherent product brands. READ MORE

5. 3. Form & Formlessness : Questioning aesthetic abstractions through art projects, cross-disciplinary studies and product design education

   Author : Cheryl Akner Koler; Edith Ackermann; Konstfack; []

   Abstract : This research is based on empirical, embodied studies aimed to generate and regenerate aesthetic reasoning through three approaches:an educational approach concerned with developing an aesthetic discipline, supporting a formgiving process aimed to create tangible artifacts.an art-based approach supporting an open exploration of distortion and formlessnessa multi-disciplinary exploratory approach concerned with aesthetic experiences shared in laborations demonstrating complexity and transformation.

6. 4. Textile Influence : exploring the relationship between textiles and products in the design process

   Author : Linnéa Nilsson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Smart textiles; textile print; thermo chromic print; dynamic patterns; material composites; complexity; design practice; design tools; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

   Abstract : Textile materials and textile design are a part of countless products in our surroundings,as well as diverse design fields and industries, each of which has very different materialtraditions and working methods. The aim of this thesis is to add to our understandingof the relationship between textiles and products in the design process, and to explorehow textiles enter and influence product design processes and how products functionin textile design processes.

7. 5. Aesthetic Flexibility : Modularity of Visual Form in Product Portfolios and Branded Products

   Author : Torbjörn Andersson; Johan Ölvander; Anders Warell; Stefan Holmlid; Monika Hestad; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aesthetic flexibility; industrial design; product modularity; brand extension; product portfolio development; carry-over; face-lift;

   Abstract : The increase in competition amongst companies that produce complex or large product portfolios has created a need to utilise modularity strategies not only to flexibly manage technical complexity in a costeffective manner but also for visual appearance. This research aims to understand how the visual appearance of products is affected by modular product development strategies. READ MORE
