Detailed Description

This project started with a wish to understand materials and the way one could use one's hands to create an object, a product. The scale of the product is very important, and the first thought was of small products, things that one could hold. Lifestyle products were chosen as a domain of work. This phrase provided the necessary direction to understand what exactly goes into defining the word lifestyle and, hence, lifestyle products. The word lifestyle has different connotations and is often misinterpreted for hedonistic pursuits. This made a thorough understanding of the field very important. Probing further, one realised that there is no single definition one could ascribe to the term. The definition existed within various shades, often overlapping and defining the product in various diverse ways.
