The world is changing on all levels - climate, health, social structures, technologies, needs, economic structures and we are experiencing changes in almost every field. In these times of great change, we are asked to examine the way we design for the new age and to examine the relevance of the modes and tools we employ to do so. New technologies and production processes are developed by experts in various disciplines according to diverse needs, and as we have seen in the past and it is clear today - you can produce almost anything you want today. The challenges in developing physical products shift to defining and researching uses, characterizing needs and more, and it is also important to clarify how designers see the future and design a product. How do you get there and how do you define what and how should it be produced and in what way? Does culture matter or only costs? How do you work within the tangle of challenges? Answers to these questions will be given during the course, where various methodologies are used with the aim of characterizing future needs and proposing solutions to them. The results of the course are a consequence of these moves, out of an aspiration to reach concrete models that are not necessarily related to specific existing technologies, but are aimed at a longer term, to a world whose production technologies are still difficult to predict today. The course included several projects that the students worked on and from which a selection of pens and home machines are presented here: Pen The pen is the end of our cultural connection. The pen constitutes an extension of the hand and allows us to express ideas in writing and drawing. As such, it is an accurate focal point and turning point - Our brain activates a hand holding a pen at the end of which are the ideas we have in mind, whether in writing or in a sketch. As part of the work process, materials and textures were formulated that express the students' personal preferences, following which the students designed a pen that embodies personal preferences and interests. Home machine Later in the course, there will be a centralized laboratory to examine whether technological changes may change the product development process and the significance of the result. This examination will be conducted by the question of whether innovation can be achieved following the change and adoption of new technologies: What happens when familiar functions are given new opportunities? As part of this phase, the students selected home machines of various types and in the work process, examined a combination of technologies and innovative materials that were assimilated into the products and led to changes in the essence of the product, its structure, and of course in the modes of operation and handling of these machines.
