In examination of shoe customization available today, one controversial issue has been the narrow changeable options with a low degree of control. On the one hand, multiple sport brands argue for performance-driven outputs tailored for professional athletes. On the other hand, independent footwear companies contend repurposed materials or noticeable color themes in a two-dimensional range as primary features. Little information is known about how customers will interact with 3D form-finding steps, data inputs and personal aesthetic choice in virtual space and the meaning behind each selection. The research findings show what type of customization processes should be prioritized, meanwhile demonstrate the preferred resources that customers are willing to incorporate and how the decision is made when reaching the final result. This study provides a list of recommendations on developing reformatted shoe-customization services and highlights the extensive business potential including but not limited to social media platforms or mobile applications. <img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60d5d6b8a0dd7de9bf28fd92e28d2da0d0f536416c631c008cee6411a85440eb/sub-images-01.png" data-mid="108103631" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60d5d6b8a0dd7de9bf28fd92e28d2da0d0f536416c631c008cee6411a85440eb/sub-images-01.png" /><img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3917ca5c133c4c2d803d107e814bf5137566127d6a25cdec8972f8becd80b3a1/sub-images-02.png" data-mid="108103632" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3917ca5c133c4c2d803d107e814bf5137566127d6a25cdec8972f8becd80b3a1/sub-images-02.png" /><img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6cb52d3f53db161277134ac5a8983c848a76398d2b0e4b54fdf4c80dd0a75c98/sub-images-03.png" data-mid="108151135" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6cb52d3f53db161277134ac5a8983c848a76398d2b0e4b54fdf4c80dd0a75c98/sub-images-03.png" /> <img width="2694" height="2694" width_o="2694" height_o="2694" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccb04dcaa81580043943364f798ae1d53732d10e9bea4d764f15a6a0011a70bc/015.png" data-mid="108103634" border="0" data-scale="68" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccb04dcaa81580043943364f798ae1d53732d10e9bea4d764f15a6a0011a70bc/015.png" /> Chia-Yuan (Caleb) Ko / 高嘉元, essentialist, industrial designer and sneaker geek.

In contrast to mass-production, handcraft has always been an attractive way of manufacturing products. The uniqueness of flaws inherent in handmade works is perceived to add rather than diminish the value. Attempts at digitizing or mass creating this same sort of mark have often been critiqued as a pastiche reference to handmade products, building in the same flaw into every product.&nbsp;I am proposing to find the flaws in the “Digital Hand’s Works.” This research uses the three-dimensional scanner to scan the original, printed out that scan, and going through serial generations to build this kind of difference visible within a set of domestic objects. The process explores a way of creating specificity to products that make equivalence value as handmade products. <img width="4240" height="2384" width_o="4240" height_o="2384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5914a56cbda3ba3992b4d5eac5b7cb366390463193ad6b37d134af255433c3cf/05.jpg" data-mid="108103026" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5914a56cbda3ba3992b4d5eac5b7cb366390463193ad6b37d134af255433c3cf/05.jpg" /><img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd203fc25aaaf895e12766141e265cd28ee3f2fb789fa9c1d58cce1a1fef063e/04.jpg" data-mid="107886684" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd203fc25aaaf895e12766141e265cd28ee3f2fb789fa9c1d58cce1a1fef063e/04.jpg" /><img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b1fe3107a76913c0bea1c1ce6ff53d48bf4c6a9821b30883a8fee9d3cf48cb0/01.jpg" data-mid="107886689" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b1fe3107a76913c0bea1c1ce6ff53d48bf4c6a9821b30883a8fee9d3cf48cb0/01.jpg" /><img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a863b9995e75ac0565241b141a0ea856b171828a874867063b4893feee7d40a/02.jpg" data-mid="107886687" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a863b9995e75ac0565241b141a0ea856b171828a874867063b4893feee7d40a/02.jpg" /> <img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a685fee18469f86cf6a7a9af7ec649410fefd5d358307877cfe00b8671962aa/03.jpg" data-mid="107886685" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a685fee18469f86cf6a7a9af7ec649410fefd5d358307877cfe00b8671962aa/03.jpg" /> <img width="2310" height="2309" width_o="2310" height_o="2309" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5ddcc713cc33254364490103c4b11c44bd5a23aea142b3eb10fcb3c63892c69/010.png" data-mid="108103032" border="0" data-scale="62" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b5ddcc713cc33254364490103c4b11c44bd5a23aea142b3eb10fcb3c63892c69/010.png" /> Based in both the US and Taiwan, Lihsing Wang treats himself as a critical thinker and a cross-discipline designer.

However, this promise has not been fully met; the types of objects that are freely available are not particularly useful: mostly novelties and toys. YourFurniture aims to get closer to that promise by allowing anyone to make their own furniture from off the shelf hardware and material with the aid of 3d printed tools and hardware. YourFurniture provides plans, step by step instruction, printed hardware and tools — all for free under a creative commons license — that allow anyone to make furniture inexpensively and easily. In doing so, I hope to encourage people to take advantage of widely available and inexpensively priced consumer 3d printers, allowing them to participate in the creation of their physical surroundings. <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d5a6e5ffd180480c2b2966afe2541bafdfcbdbb740dcdb3132cc072fc6c736e7/Hero---ALTERNATIVE.jpg" data-mid="107965834" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d5a6e5ffd180480c2b2966afe2541bafdfcbdbb740dcdb3132cc072fc6c736e7/Hero---ALTERNATIVE.jpg" /> <img width="3438" height="1580" width_o="3438" height_o="1580" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ead73b6ba9f9b523f6fbeeed3f35964d206a34eea647788d20e17a6bbb3c6f43/Shelf.png" data-mid="107965886" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ead73b6ba9f9b523f6fbeeed3f35964d206a34eea647788d20e17a6bbb3c6f43/Shelf.png" /><img width="3422" height="1580" width_o="3422" height_o="1580" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8520a926f645bafdc5e2dab25b4384fadbe81cb7ad764373a473f9f34b2a1a9a/BENCH.png" data-mid="107965868" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8520a926f645bafdc5e2dab25b4384fadbe81cb7ad764373a473f9f34b2a1a9a/BENCH.png" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1262" height="1262" width_o="1262" height_o="1262" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e46470e44b5ccda188fee5ca8209866805ad4e1c13332e80c322da602d5ce51e/image.png" data-mid="107871268" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e46470e44b5ccda188fee5ca8209866805ad4e1c13332e80c322da602d5ce51e/image.png" /> Sean is the founder and principal of Wooj, a product company focused on 3D printing and other technologies that enable domestic production of expertly designed products.

Further investigation is needed on whether furniture repair services should focus on the standard of the original state or whether they should be more flexible to provide more opportunities for reusing furniture. According to research conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only 0.327% of the furniture could be recycled and composted, suggesting that the remaining 99.7% of furniture goes into landfills. My thesis explores the possibility of engaging these and other factors that add value to furniture, by building a new industrial design practice that focuses on repairing furniture through its owners' personal narratives. In this way, the repair is conceptualized as design in ways that offer more possibilities to keep or add value to the furniture, so that users have more flexibility in retaining their broken furniture. After the industrial revolution, furniture making became more automated and has therefore reduced demand for labor-intensive repair services. Gradually since then, repair service providers turned to antiques and high-quality furniture. As the latest report from IBISWorld indicates that consumers were intending to purchase new furniture rather than hire furniture repair technicians between 2016 and 2019. This suggests that the financial value a piece of furniture has in the market becomes the primary factor determining whether it deserves repairing. However, according to the TED talk of Sandra Goldmark, the founder of Fixup, unlike the common practice of using and discarding furniture as single-life disposables, people contacted her for repairing their pieces, even though buying new ones might be cheaper. It indicates that financial value in the market that a piece of furniture has is not the one factor that matters, and we could investigate more values of vital importance to the owner. <img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a760d369ce25146e9cb7c8141044d17b7cf64e69b0bec0c2cc9a411634fe24ac/1-2.jpg" data-mid="107952869" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a760d369ce25146e9cb7c8141044d17b7cf64e69b0bec0c2cc9a411634fe24ac/1-2.jpg" /><img width="1980" height="1080" width_o="1980" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/425fe1d4260cda5ca56468aa285fdfe73f09d42551a9e5f003a15a261901f03a/2-2.jpg" data-mid="107952870" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/425fe1d4260cda5ca56468aa285fdfe73f09d42551a9e5f003a15a261901f03a/2-2.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1600" width_o="1600" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc194459042c9884c817617d05482fca607d3de3e0480e3ef2cf449da6f64fa2/headshot.png" data-mid="107952859" border="0" data-scale="82" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc194459042c9884c817617d05482fca607d3de3e0480e3ef2cf449da6f64fa2/headshot.png" /> Chun-Shou Chi (Jim) is an industrial designer who is passionate about creating innovative experiences through experiments from different perspectives, and translations from abstract concepts to concrete objects.

Investors, engineers, and designers are already exploiting these spaces and similar ones with beautiful creations, some of these have the potential to change the future of metropolis forever. The idea of bringing a bicycle underground in New York City makes total sense to me. An adaptable bike pavement or an underground bike that would slide through the rails of Manhattan could indeed become a reality in to- day’s New York City. Seeing examples of retrofitting space mentioned previously such as the prominent Highline and the upcoming Lowline are strong realities. Indeed, New York City, being one of the world capi- tals of ideas, creativity and forward-thinking, I strongly believe my design proposal would be just fit for NYC. <img width="2551" height="1405" width_o="2551" height_o="1405" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8af58bc7957da3b9d87789ae43ada00c2a4961d9c377968fc13ef07c86f341a2/32.jpg" data-mid="108427982" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8af58bc7957da3b9d87789ae43ada00c2a4961d9c377968fc13ef07c86f341a2/32.jpg" /><img width="2551" height="1405" width_o="2551" height_o="1405" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2d5bf6aca9b70684e72ff39576923d353329add67a58b7e592b62a2a81a62d5/SCENARIO_PANEL_X_1.330.jpg" data-mid="108427983" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2d5bf6aca9b70684e72ff39576923d353329add67a58b7e592b62a2a81a62d5/SCENARIO_PANEL_X_1.330.jpg" /><img width="2551" height="1405" width_o="2551" height_o="1405" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dcb2f1a196580e38ee9b75e812381bb90be8d8bb3900c71a4963c2c40654b2bd/RAIL_BIKE_X_RENDER_FINAL_DOC3.304.jpg" data-mid="108427980" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dcb2f1a196580e38ee9b75e812381bb90be8d8bb3900c71a4963c2c40654b2bd/RAIL_BIKE_X_RENDER_FINAL_DOC3.304.jpg" /> <img width="2820" height="2820" width_o="2820" height_o="2820" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a647b4146aefa29ecb6c05e0ca26a0b229e4caa1c31f4e4d1125d51d96e0dc1/014.png" data-mid="108428322" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a647b4146aefa29ecb6c05e0ca26a0b229e4caa1c31f4e4d1125d51d96e0dc1/014.png" /> Pietro Quintino SellaPratt Institute MID 2021 https://prattmid.com/Sustainable-Beauty Sun, 11 Apr 2021 03:00:46 +0000 Pratt MID2021 https://prattmid.com/Sustainable-Beauty Designed by Judyta Baczkowska Sustainable Beauty My thesis proposes that by selling application tools- five reusable brushes and the case&nbsp; as an heirloom quality investment, separate from the more frequently purchased pigment, not only are new emotional attachments formed with these devices that beget lest waste, but new aesthetic understandings away from unattainable perfection can emerge. As part of this research, these ideas will also be tested through designs for selling and testing products in stores used by the majority of consumers such as SEPHORA or TARGET. &nbsp;The beauty industry is growing rapidly in the USA. “Global cosmetic industry has been showing 4,5 % of average annual growth in the last twenty years”.(Szutowski and Szułczyńska 2017). This thesis research toward a master’s degree in industrial design investigates how the design of pigmented cosmetics for a popular audience leads to an over-consumption and waste of environmentally harmful petroleum-based materials. Observing how the marketing of these products promises its audiences a self-image of perfection based on daily concealment of flaws, the correction of asymmetry, and amplification of allure reveals an agenda of constant use. Crafted over decades by socially compelling this definition of beauty, the American cosmetics industry has built an economy that ensures itself a stream of self-perpetuating income without addressing the unsustainable approach to raw materials.&nbsp; Specifically, application tools and containers of pigments like brushes, wands, casings are inseparably packaged with the coloring media.
