A Study of Multisensory Stress-relieving Product Design for Female Office Workers: The 'BREATH BLOSSOM' Intelligent Lamp as an Example

Abstract

This study analyzes and translates user needs and design elements through questionnaires and user interviews, exploring the multisensory needs of female office workers to relieve stress. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the study prioritizes the design elements and derives the final design solution for office workers’ stress-relieving products, verifying the scientific feasibility and reference significance of the multisensory design based on AHP in the stress-relieving product design. Analytic Hierarchy Process application avoids the subjectivity and one-sidedness of the design process when considering the priority of the user’s multi-sense experience, identifying the core design elements and design objectives of the stress-relieving products. The design of an intelligent stress-reducing luminaire is used as an example to test the applicability of this design method and strategy, and it also provides a reference for similar design studies.
