Our difference: Sensory Design
Sensory design:
Sensory design aims to establish an overall diagnostic of the perceived quality of a product (across all the senses)
and to define appropriate methods for designing or redesigning a product.
It involves an observation of the varying situations in which a given product or object is used in order to measure the users’ overall opinion of the product, its positive and negative aspects.
A human centered approach
Key notion for sensory design

Perceived quality:
Refers to the impression given by a product to the user. It’s a composition of every sensory effects gathered in the product.
Forecasting forthcoming uses
Taking individuality into account
Allowing self-appropriation of space
