Description

Emotionally Durable Design Objects, Experiences and Empathy presents a powerful approach to design that challenges our throwaway society. By developing tools and methods that build resilience into relationships between people and things, the author offers a hopeful alternative to sustainable design's focus on energy and materials.

The book explores the underlying psychological phenomena that shape patterns of consumption and waste, and introduces strategies for designing products that people want to keep for longer. With over twenty examples of emotional durability in everyday objects, this second edition features pull-out quotes, illustrated product examples, a running glossary and comprehensive notes.
