<br/><br/> Why do we readily dispose of some things, whereas we keep and maintain others for years, despite their obvious wear and tear? Can a greater undiferstanding of aesthetic value lead to a more strategic and sustainable approach to product design? Aesthetic sustainability: product design and sustainable usage offers guidelines for ways to reduce, rethink, and reform consumption. Its focus on aesthetics adds a new dimension to the creation, as well as the consumption, of sustainable products. The chapters offer innovative ways of working with expressional durability in the design process. Aesthetic sustainability: product design and sustainable usage is related to emotional durability in the sense that the focus is on the psychological and sensuous bond between subject and object.
