Every product tells several stories. Apart from the story of its materials, semantics, and function, we should add the stories of its users. How do they incorporate the product into their everyday life? What kind of personal connection do they have to the product, what does it mean to them? How did the product become part of their life, and what functions do they attribute to it? The short videos present users’ stories of a kitchen blender and a park bench, a book and a zippered duffle bag, a pair of shoes and speakers.
