- Abstract
- The main goal of this project was to find out if objects can be given healing properties, to identify such a property and later incoprporate it in the design of an object. The final design should be realized in a full scale prototype in order to fully be able to test and analyze the result.
Research was carried out in a wide research field of psychology, philosphy and religiosity in order to identify a certain method of reaching well-being that could be incorporated in an object. The inspiration for the final product was found in fidgeting behaviours and the way that people utilize these behaviours in order to calm themselves.

The inspiration for the final product was found in fidgeting behaviours and the way that people utilize these behaviours in order to calm themselves.
The chosen healing feature is a tactile relief pattern on a writing desk. The relief pattern provides a calming effect when touched and can improve focus.
The final prototype is made out of maple wood and the relief pattern is cnc-milled. The high density of the maple makes the pattern durable and very smooth to the touch. The aim was to make the desk inviting to touch and this has through exhibiting the desk proven to be succesful. (Less)
