Unit 3: Inerview with Sustainable Product Designer.

Interior Design related to home decoration, including the principle of Feng Shui auspicious objects is often used to decorate a home to promote the good fortune of residents. It can be said that product design is one important part of this project.

So, I went to research whether there are new innovations or what is the trend of design in the contemporary day. I found an interesting sustainable product brand in Thailand named "Qualy". Qualy is Thai designed sustainable product brand. The purpose of this brand is focused on not only creating happiness through creativity, with sustainability for enhancing a better life and a better world.

Then, I have a conversation with Mr Teerachai(Jai); Co-founder of Qualy Brand. The topic of conversation was the product design process, research design, sustainable innovation, concept and strengths of this Brand, in order to be able to adapt some knowledge to develop my project.
