A design method for creating tangible emotional interaction is concluded-storytelling, open-end design and slow design, through an applicable design object. With a series of “growing lighting”, I want to address the design value on the experience, rather than the object with a certain function itself, in order to create emotional connection and interaction between object and people. The ultimate goal is to form a design philosophy to act on emotion and psychological issues in the life style of modern society. Additionally a design reflection upon today’s society is also discussed in this article. To achieve the goals I try to apply adapted research method on design for tangible interaction, both from a personal point of view and the view of the users. “Interaction design” here is based on a tactile/physical level, through materials, or other natural features of objects, questioning subject-object relationshipshow to realize emotional bonding through design, opening up the possibility of individual interpretation of the audience, to empower, to move, to cure.engDirect experienceTactilityEmotionInteractionStorytellingOpen-endSlow DesignText
