brainstorming
What makes a sad object? Here’s me in my DIY home studio, and the talented metalworker Taylor Elliot, making spoons and chairs sad
final concept
Kozen Home: your objects feel…happy.
when objects feel, they want to be used…
…when they aren’t, they feel sad.

kozen home raises the questions…
Why do we own things we do not use?
Why allow our peers to determine our value to society?
Is our empathy genuine or just for show?
Do we allow our products too large of a role in our lives?
why should kozen home exist?
Appeals to desire for belonging and social acceptance
Enables users to discreetly use service and avoid embarassment
Pacifies users’ feelings of guilt for causing objects pain
