Redesigning a childhood classics: the swing
Task:
The assignment for the Bachelor Thesis was to develop a product for outdoor and indoor use which could be easily used and transported from inside to outside. The following key elements were also to be considered: outside use, ease of maneuverability and comfort.
Problem:
Daily stress is typical of our accelerating lives and society, it is hard to avoid. Too much pressure is bad for a human body and can lead to mental and physical problems.
Solution:
This is where the swing fünfvorzwölf comes in. It reminds us of the carefree times in our lives and allows us to forget the troubles of the world and switch off for five minutes. Take a stand against the world's acceleration and slow down. The swing's therapeutic movements serve to prevent stress-related illness and, most important, to relive stress; it is an equilibrium for the user's mental and physical wellbeing.
Implementation:
With the support of in-depth theoretical analysis and empirical study the foundation was laid for the development of product design.
