| | | Anette Kithier - Product Design ( Plantage Doklaan 8-12 - NL-1018 CM Amsterdam )- Not to create a story around a project, but to create a project out of a story.
To deal with a new project offers the opportunity to get in touch with new subjects, cultures, traditions, behaviors, materials, needs, functions etc…
To discover new territories makes the design process challenging and interesting. Even if the story is not visible anymore in the end product, it is the pleasure to experience it during the design.
There are many products which have a specific function. Functionality is often the primary aspect. Other qualities, e.g. the material, the shape etc., get less attention.
