A Google installation in Milan lets you measure which interiors are good for your health.
"With A Space for Being, the idea was to uncover what makes us gravitate towards a given environment and emphasize the role that aesthetics, and design in particular, can play in our everyday life. It was very much an exploration of design's impact on our biology and how design has the potential to impact our well-being." Muuto's Design Director Christian Grosen
Exploring designs impact on our biology
Scandinavian Design company Muuto collaborated with Google, Reddymade Architecture and Johns Hopkins University at an installation at Salon de Mobile.
The purpose was to see how our surroundings impact our biology and well being. Guest's put on a wristband that measured various physical and physiological responses, including heart rate, breathing rate, skin temperature. At the end of their journey through the installation each participant created their own customised report. Giving them an idea of what space is more suited to them, for example were they feel most at ease.
