Product plus project is exploring the area beyond usual perception of the design problems. Students of product design where reflecting: PLUS as an awareness of hidden burden that every product casts in the environment from its birth to its end, the shadow of wasted energy and pollution. Seemingly harmless object could have a very dark shadow. PLUS as understanding that space = value. Design object should have a quality to deserve a space occupied. PLUS as intentionally unfinished design. The user finishes design and gives a character to the object. PLUS as a play, always and everywhere. Designer is inscribing the code of the play into the object, by opening possibilities, creation of meaning, ideas‌ PLUS as demystification of design object. No designer’s vanity! Goal is benefit not profit.
