Everyday products, they are so numerous and ubiquitous. They form the material framework of our existence, enabling it to function, not only in practical or utilitarian terms, but also in ways that give pleasure, meaning and significance to our lives.But why do not we notice them?
Most of us travel by the same route everyday, do similar tasks everyday, go to same places and although we are awake and seeing things around us we are not actually looking at them consciously. Hence, such products are frequently taken for granted.Design, to my understanding, is all about having an eye for such details and bringing back life to mundane objects.
4. PAUL SANDIP | 2010 Indian Railway is the 2nd largest network in the world and every day millions of passengers travel by it. People use all sorts of materials in the lavatory, e.g., plastic mug, plastic cups, empty mineral water bottles, plastic glass or toilet paper. Given a choice, most of the passengers would prefer products which are portable, disposable and eco-friendly to be used in the lavatory. Indians prefer water to toilet paper.
