Kodo
Context : Self initiated project
Duration : 2 month
How do we envision the place of technology in the future products that we live with ? Since it is always available and accessible at any moment, can technology instead help us slowing down, disconnect and let us synchronise with our natural rhythm ?
This project explore the intersection of technology with objects that feel familiar to create more a emotional and intuitive relationships.

Outcome and reflections.
Here is my vision of what future product could feel and look when we implement technology into familiar objects. I believe in world where products will become more emotional, personal, intuitive and can react to our surroundings.
That’s a topic that I’m enthusiastic about and curious to explore further.
