Matriarchal Invention II

on the dining table

Speculative design / Industrial deisgn / Story-telling

Matriarchal Invention is my ongoing practice. In this project, I developed a matriarchal design philosophy and applied it to design to show the close relationships in matriarchal society. Here, the kitchen is the central hub of matriarchal society, and eating food becomes a ritual.

Matriarchal Design Philosophy:
  • Focus on building relationships
  • Non-coercive design language
  • Prioritize interaction over efficiency
