(TU Delft Design Aesthetics) Desmet, P.M.A. (TU Delft Design Aesthetics) Contributor Chapman, J. (editor) Date 2017 Abstract In this chapter, we outline why and how design can (and cannot) support the sustainable wellbeing of individuals and communities. Building on findings of well-being researchers, we first address the reasons why material well-being, as experienced through the consumpfion and ownership of products and goods, does not necessarily contribute to subjective wellbeing. On the other hand, products that are valued for the activities and experiences that these enable can be a profound resource for happiness. This discussion provides the foundationfor an approach to design for well-being that includes three main ingi-edients: design for pleasure, personal significance and virtue. These ingredients will be detailed in depth and several directions to design for well-being will be introduced, addressing both challenges and opportunities for design theoiy and practice.
