Designing product metaphor to promote sustainable behaviour
A proposed method
Conference paper
(2020)
-
S. Huang, M. Carulli, Paul Hekkert, Hendrik N.J. Schifferstein, M Bordegoni
Within the scope of Design for Sustainable Behaviour, the connection between behavioural change strategies and design idea generation has received limited attention. This paper highlights metaphorical thinking in product design to stimulate sustainable behaviour. In particular, the current study proposes a metaphor-based design method to guide designers on how to associate product features with behavioural and experiential cues through metaphors. We next report two design cases to evaluate this method. In the end, the shortcomings of current research and future developments are also discussed.
