An Inside
View
THE STATE
OF WELLBEING
Wellbeing may be viewed as a state of mind, but the mind is a powerful and
curious thing. Influenced by all it experiences, everything from the color of
a wall, to a burst of natural sunlight, to a pattern it innately recognizes can
move the mind to a state of peace and balance. In other words, every decision
a design professional makes has the potential to positively affect the lives of
those who will experience it.
In this issue of i+D, we examine the idea of wellbeing as it relates to the
design industry on many levels. We deliver a primer on the design standards
that are addressing everything from sustainable materials to healthy
inhabitants ("A Moving Target," p. 38); and we investigate varied approaches
to wellbeing in product design-from the use of local, natural materials and
dyes to patterns that calm the brain by mimicking visual themes found in
nature ("In Support of Wellness," p. 44). We also take a moment for you,
the practitioner, and look into how your business and your life might benefit
from being more mindful ("Staying in the Moment," p. 22). Finally, for the
first time, we turn directly to research professionals to provide documented
evidence as to the very human benefits of universal design and creating
environments where homeowners can live well and age gracefully ("The
Power of Designing for All," p. 54).
Wellbeing happens on many levels. From how we care for ourselves on a
daily basis, to the varied products we purchase and use, to the spaces in
which we live and work, all play crucial roles in our general happiness and
overall wellbeing. The design of interiors and the products that complete
them are uniquely positioned to be drivers on the road to wellness and to
lead a stressed population to a more balanced life.
