Abstract
The topic of this master’s thesis in furniture design is something I call “CREATIVE TOOLS”. The main concept involves a creative process; primarily, the process endows the individual a role as “creator”. This thesis consists of three parts: firstly, a definition of “creativity” and of the person as “creator”; secondly, an explanation of design development of the first prototype of these creative tools, a definition of tools; it is started from my imagination how people create a lot of tools by themselves and then it is traced back from history of tools (usually about the form of hooks) ; Then, for the second part, I showed main concepts for creative tools from the insights of the definition of “creativity” and “tools” , which are “connectivity”, “activity”, and “openness”. Lastly, based on the main concepts, implementation of the mock-up process wherein the creative tools prototypes were modified and evolved with the help of Tutor Pekka Harni , Professor Jouko Jarvisalo, and Martin Hackenberg in wood workshop. In my conclusion part, not only I tried to evaluate my thesis work, but also I talked about designer’s role, which have been a challenge while whole process, since I considered people as creators.Description
