A bench for breastfeeding in a
public space, a hijab for competitive sports, a bicycle saddle that is
easy on the prostate. Boys prefer blue and girls love pink? What does
gender have to do with design? And what is design 'for all'?
In
the search for answers to these questions, this publication takes a look
at various aspects of our everyday life: public space, playing and
education, medicine and health, cosmetics and household. The
juxtaposition of contemporary and historical design stances, of
critical, playful, innovative and provocative solutions of applied
design research and results from extensive cooperations afford insights
into a multilayered topic.
