Introduction Don Norman (2005) defines emotional design as an attempt to produce objects that elicit appropriate emotions, to create a designed experience for the user. There are three levels of emotion design – those being visceral, behavioural, and reflective, as well as many other factors that affect the subject-object relationship. Visceral being related to the response to the appearance of an object, behavioural being about the objects’ function, performance, and usability, and the reflective stage involves “thought and emotion” (Norman, 2005). Other factors proven to affect this relationship have been age, gender, and most importantly the previous experience of a person; allowing emotions and memories to be projected onto an item and an emotional connection to form. These comfort objects are not always tangible, as they have also taken on the form of spaces.
