HANDLING COLLECTION

A carefully curated handling collection of objects that allow ideas to be experienced directly can help shape, deepen and refine a designer's understanding of material properties, design principles and functionality.

A collection could be general in content and accessed randomly, but also organised like a library in categories so that objects could be put together for specific design projects with features that exemplify issues inherent in a given design task.
