Emotion through design. Feeling products.

Design drives wellbeing

We know that product design, in particular, plays a key role in people’s wellbeing. ‘Form follows function’ can thus become ‘Form encourages emotions’, or ‘Function creates experiences’. It is becoming increasingly important for design to be aligned with the emotions you seek to generate. This is a global challenge for product designers and brands. In the years to come product designers will be increasingly asked to design for emotion, experience and context – a demand that originates from the world of marketing and branding, and is now preparing to play a crucial role in the design of the product itself.

Emotions, however, are complex, and vary in strength. That is to say, which emotions are the strongest? Which ones will influence buying decisions in the future? One of the most important emotions is the need for inner peace. Consumers are increasingly anxious to avoid stress and to stay calm. This leads to an ever-increasing need to create comfort zones – above all, at home. Tranquility and inner peace are emotional states that are increasingly sought after. In order to achieve those feelings the product design and product safety should evoke cosiness and wellbeing. Combined with our belief that a cozy fire at home makes people happier, this shapes the future of our products.

Feeling safe

As Europe’s market leader for safe chimney and flue ducting systems, we provide reliable and long lasting products. A cozy fire and fresh air create higher living comfort, quality of life and bring safety and independence to our customer’s homes. Each Schiedel system is tested by itself and can be integrated easily in the modern house building. The combined use of Schiedel products also increases the functionality and safety, so that our customers can simply relax and enjoy the comfort of their homes.
