In this research, I have explored the world of object perception and communication from multiple perspectives: from the psychology of perception to the involvement of the body and the senses, and finally to the semiotic analysis of design and brands. I discovered that objects are never neutral: they guide behavior, communicate values and influence emotions and social relationships, often even before they are consciously interpreted.
Personally, I found the topic very engaging. It is fascinating to see how even simple gestures, like turning on a faucet, can carry cultural meanings and design choices.
For the next steps of the research, I would like to delve deeper into the practical and social dimensions of object perception through interviews, workshops or other direct observations. I want to understand how people interpret and use objects in everyday life, what values they associate with certain designs and how affordances guide behavior. At the same time, I would like to further explore the connection between objects and visual communication, reflecting on how to design more conscious and coherent messages.
The next step will be to observe firsthand how people interact with objects, transforming theoretical reflection and analysis into real, meaningful experiences.
