materiality

Materiality in this channel In the captured material, materiality is explored through the lens of physical, crafted objects: watches, cars, and architecture. These are the examples Jason Fried uses to explain how products can feel right — a quality that comes from what things are made of and how they are put together, not from a feature list [^vid]. Why it matters here The source material frames this as the difference between designing for a feeling and designing for a checklist. Materiality is the vocabulary for that feeling: the sense of weight, finish, and construction a well-made object carries, and which good product design aims to reproduce. - Materiality is explored via physical objects: watches, cars, and architecture [^vid].- It connects to designing for a feeling rather than a feature list [^vid].- It is presented as part of the craft behind 26 years of building products.
