SysTex Student Award 2009_submission_Entry: Foria Intimate range_Nicki Eastbury


Introduction

The basis for this project started with questioning how much we can give the consumer. What do they want that

they cannot get from each other? What do they get from each other that they may not be getting enough of? And

how do we then give that? I’m curious if products can be designed to specifically become emotionally attached

to by the user and if so, how best to test it?

I wanted to explore the intimacy linked to emotional attachment. A scenario that was personal, secluded was

needed. Self pleasure was appropriate. This then allowed exploration of what existing products within this market

weren’t giving.
