Tiivistelmä
The designer’s job in this particular thesis work is to suggest, plan, research, test, develop, create and draw an idea that is implemented to work that what producing company will do with subcontractors. The outcome is product with the package.
The objective of this thesis is to design affordable and suitable products to the Natural Heritage Services project, The Finnish Nature Centre Haltia’s Shop using material cross-laminated timber (CLT). The starting point of the project is that Haltia shop products are made out of CLT wood. Connection between Haltia and CLT is that Haltia is built out of CLT and CLT is something Bravoo and Haltia had earlier thought of using in products. Customer for this thesis is Finnish Nature Centre Haltia. Muototalo Bravoo is maker of the products that I as a designer will design. Sub-contractors work closely with Bravoo and that work is controlled by them. the Design work in this thesis is going through changes starting from the material CLT and ending up to the plastic product.
Approach for this work is productive. Action research is used as a research method in this thesis. the Designer will work closely with the customer and the product producing company. Work will start from briefing and will be followed by research and testing. Fifty product ideas are developed and after iteration few products are chosen by the customer. Production will follow and one product will be made. the Outcome is that CLT is not the best material for small items to be produced.
