Abstract
Each day Design is coming more important, especially when are interventions in order to improve objects or even systems. When design carry out their function, are able to develop new meanings to objects that already exists, enlighten them, improving lifestyles and giving the opportunity to turn products in a new goods.
Knowing the actual state of art of the bobbin lace and the glass factory in Portugal, we invite the design to reverse this situation. The bobbin lace at Peniche and the glass factory in Marinha Grande are two case studies that design brought solutions.
New methods were generated, and new goods were invented.
The bobbin lace that usually were made in cotton line, started to be produced by other materials like carbon fiber and glass fiber. The bobbin lace is no longer a totally traditional product and has accepted innovation. From these experiences emerged new ideas to new products to be developed.
Inviting to fulfill the actual design function, we transformed products and we transformed life.
