That is, the cover has its own method of construction; it comes with an outline saying that its essence is e.g. to keep someone warm. This &#8220;real meaning&#8221; is given even before the cover exists, so that we as designers can bring another piece into life by making it from this specific plan. However, there is a well-known problem with this way of thinking; since none of us really know <em>when<\/em>, <em>where<\/em>, <em>why<\/em>, by <em>whom<\/em> and most importantly <em>how<\/em> the object is used, we will not be able to fully determine its essence. This, moreover, is when we move towards Borgman\u2018s notion of &#8216;focal things&#8217; \u2013 more explicitly his ideas that things &#8220;(\u2026) can have and hold this deeply disclosive power only if they are so designed&#8221; (Borgman 1984). This is what has occupied my mind the three last years&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD Student<br \/>\nSmart Textile Design Lab<br \/>\nThe Swedish School of Textiles<br \/>\nContact: Anne_Britt.Torkildsby [] hb.se<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1460,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[19,18],"class_list":["post-1431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-former","tag-critical-design","tag-design-method"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1431"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1459,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1431\/revisions\/1459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stdl.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
