It is generally acknowledged that the materials have a crucial role in the process that shapes meanings and sensorial and emotional interactions. The choice of materials and processes actually affect the user-object interactions and they often contribute to give to the products these features that are mediators of the quality of the interaction itself. In the paper, the concept of emerging materials experiences is used to describe the panorama of possibilities for the designer to design interactive and longer lasting products. The paper presents an initial theoretical part that focuses on dynamic material experience and imperfect material experience. Here, examples are given of materials that can provide this kind of experiences. In the second part, the Sui Bag is illustrated as an example of object designed to enhance dynamic and imperfect materials experiences to provide meaningful interactions between users and artefacts.

Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that the materials have a crucial role in the process that shapes meanings and sensorial and emotional interactions. The choice of materials and processes actually affect the user-object interactions and they often contribute to give to the products these features that are mediators of the quality of the interaction itself. In the paper, the concept of emerging materials experiences is used to describe the panorama of possibilities for the designer to design interactive and longer lasting products. The paper presents an initial theoretical part that focuses on dynamic material experience and imperfect material experience. Here, examples are given of materials that can provide this kind of experiences. In the second part, the Sui Bag is illustrated as an example of object designed to enhance dynamic and imperfect materials experiences to provide meaningful interactions between users and artefacts.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
