CULTURAL HYBRIDITY

 
How do we define Scandinavian Design? What focus does it have? What are the attributes of my own designculture and what chracteristics and tradition lay within Japanese products and furniture-making?

Within our tradition and visual memory we classify designproducts into cultural sections. This is why I focused my research on cultural moments. Therefore I analysed culture-based artefacts and designobjects to find out deep-rooted traditions, often used materials, developed techniques, colors and forms within three different cultures. I created a method to cross these attributes to link old techniques with new material or viceversa.

One (KH1) of several drafts created within my method I prototyped as part of my Bachelor‘s thesis and for the graduate-exibition »Parcours« in Muenster.

The infografic shows what cultural influences the design of KH1 had.
