For a manic two weeks we have been driving around the country delivering a lecture on Wellbeing Through Design. Over the past 10 years we have been building up a knowledge of user centered design approaches particularly focused in the healthcare sector. We felt it was time to share some of our findings but also meet and learn from Trusts and healthcare professionals who were working on other exciting projects. Last week we delivered the lecture to a full room of professionals and students at University College Falmouth UCF.

Naoki terada’s architecture office designed this playful solution
for matsumoto children’s dental clinic in nerima, tokyo.
for this project teradadesign architects utilized wooden animals
that greet children when they arrive to the dentist, in the hope that
this will help them to have a relaxed visit.
Several wooden games were also implemented into the waiting room walls
to occupy children. the layout means that the animals and trees are viewable
from the examination rooms so that the child still feels at ease.

Out latest product is up on our website; ‘Wicker Wave’ co-created by local basket weaver Lin Lovekin. Drawing inspiration from traditional lobster catching pots; each shade has their own unique identity. Combining different tones of willow with organic handmade forms the shades are a testament to local heritage and Cornish craft.
