Framtagning av en interaktiv station på Röhsska museet

Abstract

The Röhsska museum, a design museum in Gothenburg, is to open a new exhibition in the fall of 2024. The exhibition aims to describe the word design from different perspectives, or themes. In order to deepen the relationship between visitor and exhibition, several interactive stations will be featured. The task of the project is to design an interactive station for one of the exhibition themes, innovation. The target audience consists of high school students in their final year and university students in the first year of a design-related education. The project arrived at a final concept by the name of Stolsbygge, or “Chair Building”. This interactive station is positioned on a table in a room of the exhibition, and the task of the visitor is to assemble one (or more) out of three chairs from a set of loose pieces. The chairs are replicas of ones featured in the innovation-section of the exhibition. The following task is attempting to fit all the pieces of the chair into one of three boxes also present on the table. This part builds on one of the sub-themes, “the container as a template”, which illustrates how objects can be designed to fit into small, and thus efficient, boxes. The interaction does not necessarily have to be done in this order; thus, it can also be done the other way around. This concept provides a way for the visitor to engage more deeply with the exhibition, while understanding the shapes of the featured items and certain aspects of the theme.
