Designing for luxury is a challenge since it requires knowledge on the concept of luxury and how to transfer this knowledge to product design. Literature on the concept of luxury offers a variety of definitions of the term and discusses the role and meaning of luxury by referring to particular disciplines such as economics, sociology and marketing. These studies occasionally touch upon aspects that are associated with luxury products; however there is no specific research that provides guidelines or frameworks to support designers in luxury product development. This study argues that luxury values found across the literature can contribute to defining dimensions of luxury product experience. Presenting the historical background and the definitions of the term 'luxury', this paper explores four different types of luxury values through product examples, and discusses relationships amongst these values. The findings point out a need to study luxury values within different aspects of product design, which can extend the current understanding beyond materialization and into the realms of user-product interaction, design and technology relationships, and design for experience.

Unfolding diagrams as generative design tools in architectural design process: united network (UN) Studio-Möbius House , Arnhem Central Station , Mercedes Benz Museum Kuyumcu, Başak; Önür, Selahattin; Department of Architecture (2010) The aim of this thesis is to explore the role of the diagrams as generative design tools in architectural design process. Identifying the utilization of the diagrams as infrastructural and organizational elements in the design process, it aims to be concentrate on their potency for generating novel design concepts. The search has been for the possibilities of design processes developed and manipulated not through analytical use of diagrams that represents the already established relationships but through th...
Evaluation of basic design education at METU department of industrial design Bayırlı, Ümit; Özgen Koçyıldırım, Dalsu; Department of Industrial Design (2015) Basic Design is a crucial course for design education. This course is offered in the first year to initiate students to the theory, practice and communication of design and to lay a basis on which more advanced and specialized knowledge will be gathered throughout the rest of their design education and careers. However, the course's results, influence in design education and methods of conduct receives many criticisms from students, educators, designers and researchers. Even though the course plays a foundi...
Experience reflection modelling (ERM) as a generative research method and student engagement in product design at undergraduate level Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla; Department of Industrial Design (2013) Research approaches driven by design thinking have the potential to bridge early stages of design process to idea generation phases in design education. Generative research is emerged from participatory approach which is used at early stages of design process aims to elicit user needs, experiences, expectations and preferences by using generative tools and techniques through helping non-designer participants express their thoughts, feelings, opinions effectively independent of their skills and abilities in ...
Product Design Concept Evaluation by Using Analytical Hierarchy and Analytical Network Processes Özsoy, Hüseyin Özkal ; Yılmaz Özsoy, Çiğdem (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2018-10-22) The aim of this study is to improve the success and efficiency of the design concept evaluation and selection activity in industrial design by adapting two specialized evaluation-selection methods to the design process and comparatively demonstrating their use. The methods are called the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP). In their application, first the main design objective is decided upon and the evaluation criteria are determined accordingly, followed by the listing ...
Rapid development of materials experience through active learning Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (2019-07-09) In recent years, initiatives have been made to transition materials and design teaching from apredominantly lecture-based and engineering-dominated subject to one that is more practical andnurturing of experiential knowledge. These initiatives have been sparked by the ever-growing body ofresearch into materials experience and the characterization of materials as an influencer of userexperiences. This paper contributes to the dissemination of tools and techniques that can bring teachingand learning of materi...
