A Prática das Correspondências no Design: Objetos do Corpo, Corpobjeto

Abstract

Based on the sense of correspondence practice, we examine how design introduces a reflection on use and functionality. We intend to highlight the poetic and symbolic relationships between objects and bodies. To this end, we chose wearable chairs in order to analyze the different experiences resulting from the process of (re)semantics of the object in design and the clothes related to the aesthetic experiences of fashion. We will present how the action of dressing a chair allows the user to confront the everyday dimension of the design object, progressively articulating the artistic elements concerning to the poiesis, to the plastic and to the language. The focus of the text is to think about the creation of concepts linked to the transformation of the way of existence of bodies and objects.
