What it is Philips Design’s latest Design Probe ‘Metamorphosis’ explores how we have become separated from the natural world, both in terms of our surroundings and how we perceive and manage our time.
While seasons and time awaken powerful instinctive responses in us, currently the spaces in which we live and work do not reflect the changes outside to allow these effects to take place. Metamorphosis demonstrates how we have become detached from nature and the effect it has on our sensory experience and lifestyle.
Within the themes Light, Air, Sound and Body, the Metamorphosis team has created design concepts that view the home as a filter to limit air pollution, electromagnetic smog, and industrial noise penetrating our living and working space while letting in natural light, air and sound. The concepts work as a filter between people and the natural world from which, over time, people have become detached.
Why it’s cool
Thanks to the Metamorphosis people will become more aware of their natural habitat.
And this is necessary because we all seem to alienate from our nature.
Almost everyone’s working inside, at the office or at school and the TL-light is not very helpful for our kind. The bright lights from our laptops and our environments effect the response we should give to the change of light and seasons.
The Metamorphosis will give for instance urban nomads a healthier environment to work in and it will give people a more relaxing atmosphere.
Because we go back to what nature gave us, it will all effect body and mind and make us healthy. This way we can still work and feel comfortable in our workspace.
