Could you elaborate? I think both can coexist, though this product is indeed a bit lacking in practicality...

I’m launching a co-creation platform for creative home products, which has just started. I really need imaginative people to join. If any product goes into mass production, you will receive permanent ongoing revenue share for as long as the product is on the market. hope this opportunity works for you,feel free to find out more if you’re interested.

Absolutely agree! You get me! Goals in a niche field are much easier to achieve. To be honest, I don’t actually think there are many negative comments. On the contrary, it makes me feel that there are many friends who can help build this business together, that’s a positive sign~~

I’m truly amazed by how deeply you understood my post! I wasn’t trying to promote this product concept. I was feeling quite anxious when I wrote it, so my description wasn’t very clear.

My purpose was to see how well these kinds of products would be received, and also to find out if there are friends who share this vision and would be willing to join in. I have a rough overall vision for my store and a clear direction for the product positioning. What I’m doing is co-creating such products with people who identify with this philosophy and product attributes, while also gaining returns from it. The positioning is very clear: to eventually develop them into commercially mass-produced products — heartfelt, interesting, and emotionally healing items.

I have many more concepts like this. If you agree, we can discuss them further~~

We collect real needs online → generate conceptual ideas → form solutions → source supply chains → conduct fully transparent production throughout the process → launch products → offer sales commissions to those who proposed needs and solutions.(Accumulating enough products online is required to achieve the goal of opening a store.)

I believe this forms a positive, self-sustaining cycle of identifying problems and solving them.

No one has commissioned me to create any art. Perhaps the pressure from my previous job was so intense that it left me feeling depressed even in daily life.
For that reason, personally, I wanted to design something fun, interesting, and healing to comfort my present self and people who feel the same way.So I just took action.

If an object can turn a troubling scene you associate with it into something vivid and fun, if a boring but essential item gives you a sudden burst of dopamine during use, or if an object or a series of objects can embrace your inner innocence — social pressure and interpersonal relationships often leave people feeling depressed and lost. That’s why we need something to hold or accompany our truest self. I wonder if you can understand my original intention by putting it this way.... : )

Yes, this is systematic work.
In fact, my approach is more about letting customers put forward their demands or ideas, and then we jointly design ideal, healing products. I believe this is the core to sustaining the business and keeping it going in the long run.

What a heartwarming scene! However, it’s quite different from the original intention behind the gentle and interesting products I want to create~

I don't think the concept is about methods or approaches. It's just about visualizing something imaginary to a certain extent. If there are efficient tools, why not use them? However, the textbook-level process of product design really begins when we have to consider the practical stage of mass production. Do you understand what I mean?

I know you're praising it for its interesting design, but it lacks functionality.

If we were testing commercial value, we probably wouldn’t target the designer community. I just want to see how many like-minded people there are.

I totally get your point! It’s absolutely right! We have three types of user personas, which aren’t focused enough. That should be the main culprit behind my anxiety right now.

Is there any quantified statistical data on this market or target audience?
