Semantic effect and material driven design
In the first part of the project, a material concept is to be developed based on a selected association term.
The second part deals with the design method ‘Material Driven Design’.

As part of the course, students first analyze the sensory perception, functional properties, and semantic dimensions of meaning of a material. Building on this, an association term (e.g., sporty, artificial, or playful) is drawn from a defined pool of terms and systematically related to the material.

From this connection, students develop a material concept whose intended effect corresponds to the respective associative term. In addition to examining the semantic effect of materials, students use this as a basis to design a product according to the principle of material-driven design. The application, function, and design of the product are consistently derived from the specific properties of the material.

In our material sample, we focused on the effect of artificially keeping something alive. To achieve this, we equipped the material sample with air chambers that can be controlled individually. Inflating a chamber reveals the orange layer, which, in combination with the blue top layer, reinforces the artificial impression.

In order to derive the greatest possible benefit from our material properties, we decided to design a product for the medical sector. Soft silicone is ideal for this purpose because it is easy to clean, skin-friendly, and biocompatible.

The result was an anti-decubitus cushion for wheelchair users. This cushion is designed to prevent pressure sores by inflating and deflating the chambers independently from time to time, thus distributing constant, localized pressure across different areas.
