Aalto Lab México 2020

Social Design - Made in collaboration with Aalto University Finland

A co-design project made with artisans and women honey producers from the community of “El 20” in Campeche, Mexico. With the goal of spreading the value of their work and strengthening awareness of the Melipona bee, we helped them enhance a touristic and multisensory bee experience by reinterpreting through new objects honey tasting.

“We are advocates for the authentic needs of the user; and representing our participants’ needs truthfully helps us design the most appropriate solutions. An honest assessment of those needs means the user can better appraise the potential value of a given design solution”
