Detailed Description

Products can serve as symbols of an upwardly mobile rise in lifestyle. The contemporary user is more design-literate and has more disposable income. The atmosphere for design is created by repeated interplay not only between the designer and the production techniques but also between the object itself and the constants of popular culture and a market place. People seek products that are exclusively designed and of impeccable quality. A profound sense of individualism and risk-taking is pervading our society and is mirrored in its products. Designer tableware from Magppie, Art'dinox, etc. has started to be appreciated by the general consumer. This is a result of its availability in the lifestyle malls that have come up in every corner in an urban scenario. Tableware in combination with two materials is a new intervention. The aim of the project was to explore the uncanny appeal it holds. The project was not just about designing a lifestyle product but also about how a utilitarian product can be modulated to be presented as a lifestyle one.
