Gustbowl
Wouter van der Hoog, Ianus Keller, Pieter Jan Stappers · 2004
The Gustbowl enables parents and out-of-house children to bring back the feeling of coming home and allow for low-threshold, uncomplicated communication through using an aesthetically pleasing product. Technology is used to reconnect mother and grown-up son, by anchoring communication in routine daily actions. Prototypes were tested over longer periods of time to develop and evaluate both the intended routine use and improvised focused use of the bowl.
