Abstract:
Nowadays, people have started to disconnect from their daily lives little by little through the effect of Fast. When moving fast becomes the default in this world, Slow becomes even more important to peoples lives in terms of supporting living. The faster things become, the more we need to slow down our lives. People have started to be more concerned about their living and finding ways to reconnect them to the world. That is how slow movement enters the discussion.
In this thesis, the author intended to design objects to help people engage and reconnect to their daily activities. The process of design involves learning about slow design from many researches and case studies in order to create objects that can help people to slow down. Following this, the author found the meaning of slow and found a way that can affect people by applying this process in their lives. A slow grinder was designed based on understanding from research, and sketching was initiated for several versions of ideas, including 3D. At the end of the result from the entire process, the final prototype was created by focusing on details such as choosing materials, designing, processing, and finishing the small details.
