In a world where resources are wasted as products are unused, it is time for a new way of sharing products. What if you don’t own a product but still have access to it? It’d be an ownerless product. This graduation project emphasises the best user experience of such a product and reimagines a new product-service system from the ground up, by examining the collaborative consumption context, exploring opportunities for ownerless products, and experimenting with designs for a new service to give access to products. All this forms the foundation for a set of guidelines on how to design an ownerless product. Building on the blueprint that’s been crafted in this report, Mesh is the new, sustainable, product service.
