The purpose of this meeting was to brainstorm, enhance ideas, start a new design as a result of research and analysis. The consummation of these practices was developed into 2 video contents and prototype videos were filmed in Thailand. The content of the 2 videos are: 1. Interior Designer’s Unseen Lifestyle: Visualizes real designer’s lifestyles to demonstrate how their days are like, how he/she does his/her job and what are the issues they are currently facing. 2. Shopping Taste: Indicates the taste of interior design of each interior designer when they are deciding for decorative items, furniture or materials in a showroom store. The selected interior designers were asked to be filmed and illustrated their working style in a casual and realistic way. After videotaping was done, the films were edited, added subtitle and sound effects to highlight the crucial information of the video. And finally, it will be published on social media. The film is planned to become an internet marketing to promote services, the association of the interior designer and the career in a meaningful way.

Questa tesi è stata realizzata in conformità con il codice di condotta etico dei Designer di Interni della Thailandia e con la supervisione della “Thailand Interior Designers’ Association” (TIDA, Associazione Tailandese dei Designer di Interni) con l’intenzione di creare un servizio che esplori possibili metodi migliorativi di comunicazione tra designer di interni e responsabili di progetti residenziali in Thailandia. Questa proposta si basa sulle nozioni di Design per il Sistema Prodotto Servizi apprese al Politecnico di Milano. Il contenuto della tesi illustra la creazione di un canale che aiuti a incoraggiare la comunicazione per designer di interni tailandesi. L’intenzione di questo servizio è di promuovere le “vite nascoste” dei designer attraverso i principali canali con una solida base di utenti disponibili oggi in Thailandia, e di creare consapevolezza dei valori del design verso il grande pubblico. La ricerca e il percorso di design hanno sfruttato la metodologia del “Design Thinking”. La prima fase del processo è stata un’esplorazione delle informazioni a disposizione. Questa fase si è concentrata sulla raccolta dei dati più importanti legati al mercato edile, in particolare quello residenziale, focalizzandosi sul processo di design di interni per poter identificare nuove opportunità per il progetto. Tutti i dati che sono stati raccolti durante questa fase provengono da riviste, giornali, statistiche pubbliche e report sul settore edilizio tailandese. Sono stati considerati anche sondaggi e interviste condotte con portatori d’interesse del mondo dell’edilizia, quando collegati al mondo del design di interni; ad esempio, i designer d’interni stessi, persone con esperienza diretta nei processi di progettazione di interni e membri dell’associazione TIDA. La seconda fase ha riguardato l’esplorazione delle possibili opportunità ed è stata condotta mediante una sessione di co-design organizzata in Thailandia tra i designer di interni tailandesi e i membri della TIDA. Lo scopo di questo incontro è stato quello di fare brainstorming, migliorare le idee, iniziare un nuovo design a partire dai risultati della ricerca e della conseguente analisi. I risultati di queste attività sono stati ulteriormente sviluppati in 2 prototipi video filmati e realizzati in Thailandia. I due video illustrano: 1. La vita nascosta del designer di interni: racconta il vero stile di vita del designer per mostrare la realtà quotidiana, come affronta il proprio lavoro e quali sono le difficoltà con cui si scontra. 2. Il gusto per lo shopping: evidenzia l’importanza da parte di ogni designer del gusto personale nella scelta dei materiali, elementi di arredamento e oggetti decorativi presso negozi e showroom. Ai designer di interni selezionati è stato chiesto di essere videoripresi e di mostrare il proprio modo di lavorare in maniera informale e realistica. Alla fine delle registrazioni il film è stato editato, sono stati aggiunti sottotitoli ed effetti sonori per evidenziare le informazioni cruciali ed infine sarà pubblicato sui social media. Il film è da intendersi come uno strumento online di marketing per promuovere servizi, l’associazione di designer di interni e la loro carriera in maniera significativa. Questa tesi aspira a scatenare idee creative per coloro che lavorano nel settore industriale del design di interni in Thailandia e di agevolare la conoscenza del lavoro del designer di interni ad un pubblico più ampio, nella speranza che ne possano beneficiare sia i designer che i loro clienti.
