Drawing on existing design approaches, this paper argues for the experiential desirability and critical importance—in terms of environmental sustainability—of designing for reflection on everyday material things themselves. This paper motivates and proposes a material awareness design approach, further drawing on developments from philosophy of technology and design theory. A series of conceptual designs are presented to help illustrate this approach.
