OMOTENASHI
DESIGN THINKING

Catagory: Graphic & Product Design, Framework
Type: Thesis Project for BFA Communiation Design '23

The project looks into the concept of using human behavior as a mode of design thinking, which is informed by the essence of Japanese hospitality, to explore a new framework for approaching design thinking. This approach takes into account both form and function and was subsequently applied to everyday items to create unique designs that aim to stimulate intuition through their aesthetics to create intuitive and poetic designs through product and visuals.

These designs, both visual and physical, represent my personal incorporation of the principles of omotenashi in my life. They articulate the ways I want to interact with my environment, curating quietly convenient, visually harmonious and ubiquitously applicable standards of design. In the construction of this project I’ve learned that pure ingenuity can be folly – sometimes it is best to simply allow a form to unravel itself.
