Abstract

This paper will outline why product designers are exploring making processes of the natural world and how this is of benefit to traditional product design practice. This type of experimental design work pushes the boundaries of conventional product design in which mass-manufacture efficiency drives the design and production process. Products, which use growth processes as fundamental to the making process, are increasingly becoming more feasible for end-user acquisition. This paper will provide two case study examples. These case studies contextualise these products and how they co-exist and contribute to the well-established design approaches of digital fabrication and co-creation.

These definitions are provided in line with Christina Cogdell who commented that the exhibition Design and the Elastic Mind failed to differentiate between; “imagined visions – virtual pieces, if you will, materialized for the exhibition through digitally manipulated photographs or videos – one-off prototypes seemingly ready for production, and post-production designs.” Christina Cogdell, ‘Design and the Elastic Mind, Museum of Modern Art (Spring 2008). Design Issues 25(3), 95 (Summer 2009)

Julieanna Preston defines multidisciplinary as referring to “knowledge shared by more than one discipline in which each is tackling a common challenge using its specialized tool kit – essentially, the whole is the sum of its part. Crossdisciplinary refers to one discipline using the knowledge set of another, i.e., importation across discipline boundaries.” Julieanna Preston, “A Fossick for Interior Design Pedagogies,” in After Taste: expanded practice in interior design, ed.
