Small Spaces: Ethnographic Style Design Research
The annual Winter Market is an on-campus exhibition of products produced by third-year industrial design students at The Ohio State University through the duration of the Autumn 2022 studio course. Eight "houseware" products were designed to strike a balance between addressing the needs of users, to meet the demands of small-run production, are produced within the constraints of a limited budget, and to evaluate different approaches to sustainability.
The hands-on studio course was entirely dedicated to the production of the aforementioned "houseware" product, with the design process beginning in the "research phase."
