"Inside and Outside"-Examining Consumerism with Product Design!

In the current consumption era, symbol consumption has gradually changed our consumption motivation for on-demand consumption, and the function of products has gradually been obscured by virtual symbols created by capital. The unrestrained pursuit of symbols will not only aggravate the waste of resources, but also bring people to the edge of materialization, so we rethink the significance of product design.

The work "Inside and Outside" uses a group of household products as the expression medium, using innovative leather shaping technology, luxurious leather and symbol labels symbolize the value of symbols, and the functional originals inside the product symbolize the use value, using destructive interaction "Cut" the symbol coat, liberate the honest function, and highlight the contradictory relationship between symbols and functions. Finally, it leads to perceptive reflection-as consumers, can we stop ignoring the function itself and stop focusing on the symbolic value of things? As designers, should we reflect on the production of symbols and slow down our excessive consumption of materials?


In the current consumer era, symbolic consumption has gradually changed our motive of consumption on demand, and the functions of products are gradually obscured by the virtual symbols created by capital. The uncontrolled pursuit of symbols not only increases the waste of resources, but also leads people to the edge of objectification, so we rethink the meaning of product design.

The work "Tear,Discover" takes a group of household products as the medium of ex-pression, and adopts an innovative leather shaping process, with luxurious leather and symbolic labels symbolizing symbolic value, and functional original parts inside the product symbolizing use value. The destructive interaction "cuts" away the symbolic coat and liberates the honest function, emphasizing the contradictory relationship between symbol and function. Ultimately, it triggers perceptive reflection - as consumers, is it possible to stop ignoring the function itself and stop focusing on the symbolic value of products? As designers, is it time to reflect on the production of symbols and slow down our overuse of matter?

"Explosions" and "Internet Red" products are good evidence.

Very in-depth design, this problem is really worth thinking about, because the current market consumption orientation, the symbolic value has far exceeded the practical value of the product, so many companies have followed suit, hoping to achieve product premium by creating symbolic value, but ignoring The original practicality and quality of the product, the symbolic value itself is not wrong, the symbol not only represents the symbol itself, but also represents the forward-looking nature of R & D and design, quality and service guarantee, etc., symbolic value is precisely the meaning of a company's brand building, but everything has a degree, and it will become deformed when the balance is excessively tilted.

Yes, the overproduction of symbols will only aggravate the alienation of people, and the evaluation of people in society may be completely dominated by what they own.

It was fantastic. I took off my coat to listen to the sound and watch the time, which made me feel empathy. The internal functions are of high value and should be listened to and watched carefully, rather than in an environment of excessive waste of resources, the relationship between users and products becomes arbitrary and can be easily discarded. This is my view of this design from another angle.

I think we should reflect on it and slow down our excessive consumption of substances. Think of Liu Da's speech, there is depth
