Abstract

My thesis was based on studying what really happens when Swedes move their beloved kitchen outdoors.?What kind of problems and possibilities appears in this enviroment? First, I unbiassed examined the traditional kitchen in general to get a better view of how an outdoor kitchen could function in a country that have diffrent seasons. I intervjued an interior designer specialized in kitchenplanning to get a better view. One thing that came up was that the experince of beeing outdoor sometimes puts functionality aside. I located different needs in the outdoor kitchen enviroment and decided to work futher with one of them, outdoor lightning. The result became a 3d digital model of an outdoor lamp that creates both functionallight and moodlight. The purpose with the lamp was to create a product designed for the outdoor kitchen work enviroment and to give a moodlight when the kitchen isn´t used. My method was to start with analysing a scenario without knowing what kind of product that it would result in and this has been a good and openminded process that have led me to identifying several diffrent needs and problems with the outdoor kitchen.
