Design Anthropology brings together leading international design
theorists, consultants and anthropologists to explore the changing
object culture of the 21st century. Decades ago, product designers
used basic market research to fine-tune their designs for consumer
success. Today the design process has been radically transformed,
with the user center-stage in the design process. From design
ethnography to culture probing, innovative designers are employing
anthropological methods to elicit the meanings rather than the mere
form and function of objects. This important volume provides a
fascinating exploration of the issues facing the shapers of our
increasingly complex material world. The text features case studies
and investigations covering a diverse range of academic
disciplines. From IKEA and anti-design to erotic 21st-century
needlework and online interior decoration, the book positions
itself at the intersections of design, anthropology, material
culture, architecture, and sociology.
