Introduction

This course was about disassembling a product or object, in this case a flower, into its individual parts in order to learn from its substance and get new creative input. We were asked to use these findings as a completely new source of inspiration for redesigning. But our group was not only concerned with the traditional dedesign of disassembly. We wanted to look at an even deeper level: the emotional level of a flower.

We chose a flower: The rose. It is a flower that is already loaded with many stereotypes and symbols. When we look at the rose, we never experience it in an unbiased way, but we already have an image and a feeling in mind. We wanted to test this theory in our first presentation, Wonderland. For our second presentation, we created something completely new out of our findings.
