Human-Centric Design

Human-Centric Design pivots on the profound understanding that design should harmonize with the individual’s needs, behaviors, and values. In the realm of Applied and Decorative Arts, this approach becomes a tapestry of function and aesthetics, weaving the user’s experience into the very fabric of everyday objects. It’s not merely about creating a visually stunning chair, textile, or utensil; it’s about tailoring these items to enhance the user’s interaction and emotional connection with them. Reflect on the ergonomic curves of a chair from the Art Nouveau period or the sensory delight of tactile wallpapers from the Arts and Crafts movement—each is a testament to design’s evolution towards a more intimate and humane experience.
