Abstract
We study about user and designer's relationship, prototyping unit furniture like construction toys. We aimed to achieve attractive unit furniture design, both single use and when it's used with several units, after measuring furniture which is related to various user postures in the domestic environment. We aimed to create also a highly flexible tool, according to user's creativity allowing various type of use such as stool, shelf, container and basement. We observed that while adults tend to categorize things they see for the first time, children explore new relationship with new tools. About user and designer's relationship, we knew that it is affected very much, by various factors such as user's experience, interest, body size with the objects.
