Michal Piasecki’s recent design – Weaving Bowl – was selected for the final of Young Design 2010 competition organized by Warsaw’s Institute of Industrial Design (IWP). During the project presentation at IWP, taking place on June 2nd this year, Michal emphasized how mass customization paradigm shifts designers and users roles. Designers’ focus moves away from [...]

Many thanks to everyone who decided to participate in the Breeding Objects Experiment 01. My initial hypothesis was that configurators with artificial selection in a GA implemented may prove to be a better tool to navigate through solution spaces with larger amount of dimensions. In other words, genetic algorithms are better tools to look for [...]

There where three sessions on MCPC devoted entirely to configurators. Before moving on to discuss them, let’s answer a question: “what is a configurator?”. The definition provided by Configurators Database is a good answer: “Simply put, a configurator is a software application for designing products exactly matching customers’ individual needs.” B2C online product configurators are [...]
