Invitation to participate in design research project – sustainable furniture

I am undertaking research to gather information about householders to determine behaviours in furniture usage, maintenance and disposition.

You are invited to participate in a postgraduate study on ‘Designing for long term product attachment’.

The aim of this research project is to uncover how designers can help to develop relationship between consumer and their lounge and sofa seatings to encourage long term satisfaction. For the full project statement and ethics approval, please go to December 2009 archive on my Blog.

The survey is proposed to find information about current lounge and sofa seatings for people who reside in Australia and over 18 years of age.

To participate survey please click below link.
