The value of imperfection Reassess injection moulding defects for sustainability POLITECNICO DI MILANO F. Ostuzzi, G. Salvia, V. Rognoli, M. Levi
Contest of crisis: +  economic +  social * +  environmental … Can designers interpret and  turn  the *  Zygmunt Bauman, (2005),  Liquid Life , Polity Press, Malden, USA. current  context into an opportunity ?
Our focus was centered on the  approach  of  designers to Objects of the crisis defective  products, that are  discarded ,  ignored or  abandoned before time in

cradle to  cradle * * Mc Donough W. Braungart M. (2002),  From cradle to cradle, remaking the Way We Make things , North Point Press, New York, USA.
With the goal  of  prolonging artefacts life-span * A  sustainment  is much more about  extending the life of existing products , than it is about reducing the ecological impact of our wastefulness **   * Vezzoli C. Manzini E. (2008),  Design for Environmental Sustainability , Springer London, London  ** The EcoDesign Foundation, (2004)
satisfaction and dissatisfaction cycles,  theorized by  Martin Woolley * link the degree of   satisfaction/dissatisfaction of the product  with different  temporal phases  (short, medium and long term) and the  mood of the user
desire
excitement
assimilation
boredom
crucial factor is the  realtionship with the user useful to  overcome the dissatisfaction phase   and  extend the product lifespan
respect
respect
In this way the notion of attachment and empaty **   and  also the  aging of products  and the  accumulation of meanings over time  become an  incentive  also for  Design for Sustainability *  Lalande P.  The Metamorphosis of Products: a Sustainable Design Strategy That Favours Increased Attachment , Université de Montréal. **  Walker, S. 2009,  After Taste - The Power and Prejudice of Product Appearance . The Design Journal.
attachment and empaty  increase also thanks to the  imperfection because the imperfection  itself might become the  reason of  uniqueness  of industrial products ,  evidencing the  disorder of real life * * Sommerville S., Candy F.J., Kälviäinen M., Oksanen H. 2003,  Temporal Transformation of Materials: Can Designers Harness the Effects of Time to Create a Contemporary Aesthetic of  ‘Worldliness’ within New Products?
Index ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
In the past  an entire culture based its aesthetic  on the  value of imperfection Wabi Sabi - Japan – 900 d.C.
Wabi sabi is the beauty of  imperfect  temporary uncompleted things  .. the beauty of  humble modest things  .. the beauty of  unusual things **
many examples  of everyday objects that surrond us  are  already belonging  to such a conception of the world
 
the use is  visibile ,  thanks to the material
the product becomes  more functional ,  over time and through use
*   Roman Opalka, Martino Gamper, Efeito D, Illywords “Re-evaluate the error” Some examples  coming form the design and artistic field
In the wabi sabi idea the product starts as an  imperfect  object and thanks to this imperfection it tends asymptotically to perfection
the same system  wiki, Wikipedia  * uses a programming model that is based  explicitly on the idea of Wabi Sabi *   Wikipedia born on the 2001, founded by Donald Wales
eternally yours, time in design *
They suggest the creation of objects with the potential to  be kept alive longer * this lifespan elongation is possible thanks to: + the  emotional relationship user-product  + the  revaluation of  imperfections ,  the   signs of time and use Takara J. (2005 ), In the Bubble: Designing in a Complex World,  MIT Press,  Cambridge
Index ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
 
identification  of four design approaches
The method choosen was  to  collocate them in the life cycle
 
Standard/unique Considers  the  differentation of the mass product  as   a value
 
Signs of the time and use considers the product as a  dynamic entity ,   differentiated  over time and through the use
 
Breakage followed by fixing takes into account the chance of  mending the product
 
Breakage followed by a new function considers more than one function for each product,  after accidental breakage or disposal
Index ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Standard/unique
Agreeing with what tells the  Cradle to Cradle  approach, we have to  eliminate the concept of waste from the design stage *
Standard/unique ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Standard/unique ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Standard/unique Pompon  Con3studio for Cecchi & Cecchi, 2009
the particularity of this product is being  formed  by  waste production materials these materials usually considered  imperfect  can still be used in such a product,  making it unique
selvage 5-8% of the production
automatically separated
downgrading  of the material
Each piece is different  because the waste material  comes from different fabrics First prize “ Casa del nuovo millennio”, 2009
Another example H&M waste collection, 2011 The collection is made from production waste, that comes from previous collections
Standard/unique ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Standard/unique Saving/Space/Vase  Joe Velluto for Plust, 2008
 
 
Each vase is different, because it is easy to change prossessing parameters (temperature, pressure)
Another example RD Roughly Drawn By Richard Liddle for Cohda, 2009
Standard/unique ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Standard/unique Standard Unique , Maarten Baas for Established & Sons, 2009
Each module is formed with CNC machine
Each chair is different because  the modules are assembled randomly
Another example Ariante ®  30 Arlecchino By Francesco Trabucco
so thanks to  flexible technologies and to a  deep knowledge about processing , designers can try to generate unique products without huge investements or even re-eveluating what would have been discarded.. ..because of this remark we decided to develope a  specific case study
+ the  material + the  forming process: INJECTION MOLDING + the  assembly stage The idea is to  re-evaluate the waste  that is generated during  production  In specific the one coming from  the  injection moulding process
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
the  average waste percentage  in the  production is between  2 %  and  20 % * ..and most comes from the  start-up phase  of the process *  T.A. Osswald, L. Turng, P.J. Gramann,  Injection moulding Handbook , (2002), Hanser Publisher, Monaco
these are the  specific defects  identified
they can be divided into  systematic flaws  or  sporadic flaws
systematic flaws  ..  are those that  appear systematically  usually  because of a lack of design or because the material they can be exploited, depending on  their influence on the piece and on  their aesthetic value
Dishomogeneous color Causes:  material, machine This flaw  have  mainly aesthetical implication
Dishomogeneous color The purging of the machine requires: time, money and materials (since it is necessary to stop the production)
As written in the  Directive 2008/98/CE *   we have to  prefer  reuse instead of recycle , from the environmental point of view *  Effective from the 12 december 2010
543 Broadway chair , Gaetano Pesce, 1993 Dishomogeneous color
sporadic flaws  usually comes from the  start-up phase  of the process ..considering these defects doesn’t imply a lack of planning, rather a   creative action  is needed to identify  different context of use
Flashes Causes:  mold, machine and design of the piece This flaw  doesn’t have structural implication   on the piece * *  Swift K.G., Booker J.D. 2003,  Process Selection: from design to manufacture , Butterworth-Heinemann, Woburn
Flashes Red and white vases , Hella Jongerius for  Royal Tichelaar Makkum, 1998
Moreover this is supported by the  UNI EN ISO 9001: Quality Control System ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Flow lines Stitched coffee table, by Uhuru, 2009
Short shot Broken things, by Livia Marin, 2008
Warpage Blow away vase, by Front Design for Moooi, 2009
Index ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Inside the chart  defects have been correlated with their influence  on the objects
..from our point of view, such a exercise could be extended to all transforming processes Becoming a  vade-mecum  for designers whom knows the process in its  completeness , which implies  knowing also the flaws  typical  and sometime  unavoidable  of the process itslef
Established imperfections  validate the continuity of the relationship * leading us to  increase our sense of respect for the product , which can be characterized by  the  peculiar human  uniqueness  in opposition to the mass production * Sommerville S., Candy F.J., Kälviäinen M., Oksanen H. 2003,  Temporal Transformation of Materials: Can Designers Harness the Effects of Time to Create a Contemporary Aesthetic of  ‘Worldliness’ within New Products?
… Can designers interpret and  turn  the current  context into an opportunity ?
opportunity of  uniqueness  for users Clouds  by Bouroullec Brothers for Kvadrat, 2008 RD Roughly Drawn  by R. Liddle for Cohda, 2009 Molletta per bucato  by Giulio Iacchetti for Coop, 2008 13 Ricrea  by A. Mensi, I. Taro, C. Merlo, 2007 of  creativity  for designers of  economy  for industries opportunity of  sustainability
Our hope, as designers, is to try to turn this particular context into an  incentive to change the approach of the designers  to   what we called Objects of the crisis in
“ Crisis bring failures and unemployment, but they also break down old patterns and reward those  who have the courage to innovate ” * *  Fitoussi J. (2009) The Economist, UK

In this way the notion of attachment and empaty ** and also the aging of products and the accumulation of meanings over time become an incentive also for Design for Sustainability * Lalande P. The Metamorphosis of Products: a Sustainable Design Strategy That Favours Increased Attachment , Université de Montréal. ** Walker, S. 2009, After Taste - The Power and Prejudice of Product Appearance . The Design Journal.

  • 19. In the past an entire culture based its aesthetic on the value of imperfection Wabi Sabi - Japan – 900 d.C.
  • 20. Wabi sabi is the beauty of imperfect temporary uncompleted things .. the beauty of humble modest things .. the beauty of unusual things **
  • 21. many examples of everyday objects that surrond us are already belonging to such a conception of the world
  • 22.  
  • 23. the use is visibile , thanks to the material
  • 24. the product becomes more functional , over time and through use
  • 25. * Roman Opalka, Martino Gamper, Efeito D, Illywords “Re-evaluate the error” Some examples coming form the design and artistic field
  • 26. In the wabi sabi idea the product starts as an imperfect object and thanks to this imperfection it tends asymptotically to perfection

  • 69. these are the specific defects identified
  • 70. they can be divided into systematic flaws or sporadic flaws
  • 71. systematic flaws .. are those that appear systematically usually because of a lack of design or because the material they can be exploited, depending on their influence on the piece and on their aesthetic value
  • 72. Dishomogeneous color Causes: material, machine This flaw have mainly aesthetical implication
  • 73. Dishomogeneous color The purging of the machine requires: time, money and materials (since it is necessary to stop the production)

  • 76. sporadic flaws usually comes from the start-up phase of the process ..considering these defects doesn’t imply a lack of planning, rather a creative action is needed to identify different context of use
  • 77. Flashes Causes: mold, machine and design of the piece This flaw doesn’t have structural implication on the piece * * Swift K.G., Booker J.D. 2003, Process Selection: from design to manufacture , Butterworth-Heinemann, Woburn
