Objects of Discussion

What if objects in our spaces helped us listen more actively? This speculative design project gives insight into a future where these objects exist, imagining what they might look like, and how they could be used to re-define places of discussion like the coffee house.

“INSIGHT: Good questions can create active and curious listeners, while the form of the table and mug are designed to encourage and assess listening body language. IMPACT: We can improve relationships and reduce partisanship.”
