I have to say i never did like knitted things as i associate them with grannies wasting time deliberately, still maybe I could accept knitting only as a ironic hippy like type of protest in guerilla knitting (as shown below).
Returning to the real point as I said I do not like knitting, knitted things or anything of that sort and I also I do not find ceramics interesting at all, still this Knitted-look ceramic cup by Madieke Fleuren had an instant appeal to me because of the protecting instinct that it instantaneously rose in me. I tried to understand why and how design can induce feelings, I know a bit that in advertising such effects are produced by imbedding common psychological elements to which the target resonates(a certain cigarette brand chose a specific color (the one that the targets tobacco smoking grandparents would likely wear ,when they were children ) so that the target would be more likely to choose their brand as it would seem familiar ). Still I cannot explain why I would want to nurture this object, maybe because it induces the feeling of warmth given by both by a warm cup of tea or warm winter clothing, I don’t know, I’ll just have to research this aspect so crucial in advertising, and an added tool to making influencial design objects
