Abstract

How many “things” do we have in our house? More than eighty years ago, Wajiro Kon conducted a study to answer the question. In this paper, I introduced the works of Kon and his followers, including the ecological study of life commodities by CDI (Communication Design Institute) and the database of things in a Korean house from the exhibition of “Seoul Style 2002” by National Museum of Ethnology. By using the Seoul Style 2002 database, I proposed two important aspects of the study of things and people, that are (1) detailed description of human activities in relation to their physical interaction with things, and (2) our emotional interaction with things.
