Humid Design: Fumie Shibata (Industrial Designer)

From “product-centric” design that tests user patience and forces compromises, to “human-centric” design that is modeled to natural human behavior: where what is posited as being necessary to conveying this human quality is “humidity”, and from the perspectives of such three keywords as “softness”, “fluidity”, and “malleability”, we covered cutting-edge corporate design. Here, we explore a new, functional approach to design, an approach that preserves product form while offering the user a highly affective, sympathetic interface.
