Slow Design Post

The first example of a slow design is the Mygdal plantlight by Nui Studio. This is the worlds easiest indoor plant that does not require any daylight nor care. The plant fits the principles of a slow design because it involves the principles of reflect and evolve. The concept of the plant in the bottle vase shows both qualities of calm, growth and process through the plant growth in an enclosed vase.

What I liked about this was how simple the idea/ concept was. This product is something I believe a lot of people would like if they live in a home with minimal light. As well as it being easy to maintain for those who like plants but aren’t that great at caring for them. Not only that, it adds style to any home without it looking too cluttered no matter the size.

This next item is a chair by the brand culture of art, they made all slow design furniture, decor, and light products. Their goal is to make products that will capture the attention of its user and slow them down in the process. The principles that of slow design that fit this item are reveal and evolve. The chair is meant to be something that will last a lifetime and bring you joy of the process of it being made. In that process you should be aware of the companies objective and pause and reflect on that. Also evolve on the journey of liking slow design products rather than relying on fast produced items.

What I liked about this was the companies goals, I admired how transparent they were with their objective and the audience they were seeking for their products. The chair itself is something many people would own, its classic. It’s elegant in its own way and I think that’s one of the objectives the company had – making a good quality product that people wouldn’t just want to throw away.
