PRODUCTPLUS project is exploring the area beyond usual perception of the design problems.

PLUS as an awareness of hidden burden that every product casts in the environment from its inception to its end; the shadow of wasted energy and pollution. Seemingly harmless product 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 design intentionally left unfinished. The user finishes design and gives a design object a character.

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 design object demystified. No designer’s vanity! Goal is benefit, not profit.

 

Merz, coat hanger by Andrea Krivanek

Instead of a hanger hooks designer made holes. Choose your own hanger hook; there is always something you can use.

Finding objects that fit in those holes like lost pieces of puzzle becomes a game that never ends, and the hanger is no longer just a functional object but also a reflection of our attitude, emotions or momentary mood. Instead of hooks, anything can be used: a pencil, brush, fork, rolled paper… There are plenty of possibilities.
