Restful Workspaces : Using product design to improve resting spaces in stressful working environments

Garphem, Hanna January 2022 (has links)
The aim of this research is to understand and explore the different needs important to the resting space used at work, and how research through design can be used to better uptain the goal of creating rest and recovery for the employees. It is a requirement made by the Swedish Work Environment Authority that every workspace have, or temporarily can provide, a resting space for its employees. But not everyone finds use of this space, and little research has been made on how product design can be used in resting spaces to better fulfil the needs of the individuals working there. That is something this thesis hopes to uncover by inviting the employees into the design process, participating in interviews, a workshop and a moodboard as the users of this project. By using product design in an investigative and interactive process, important insights were made during the study as to what is important for rest and recovery to be obtained. These insights were then put together into a list of requirements for the final product to be evaluated against. The result became a product much appreciated by the employees, as it created sheldment from work.
