Haptic Design & Sensory Wellbeing
Inspired by how visually impaired individuals perceive the world, Studio Boey skillfully integrates tactile logic into functional design, allowing users to intuitively experience a new way of interacting with products, challenging the traditional visual-centric design approach. Their practice goes beyond functionality, using touch as a shared sensory medium that avoids preconceived notions shaped by sight. By treating both visually impaired and sighted people equally, they explore a non-visual perspective as a new way to experience the known world, inclusively integrating minority groups into social life.
Studio Boey 由中国产品设计师王勃在荷兰产创办，他是一位/ UX设计师/ 漫画作者，毕业于荷兰埃因霍芬设计学院Man and Wellbeing专业。受到盲人观看世界方式的启发，Studio Boey 巧妙地将触觉逻辑融入到功能设计中，让使用者直觉地体验新的使用方式，挑战传统以视觉为主导的设计观念。他们的实践超越了功能性，作为多数人共享的感官媒介，巧妙地规避了视觉所形成的固有观念，将盲人和健全人群平等对待，将他们的非视觉角度作为探索已知世界的新途径，以包容的方式将少数族群纳入社会生活里。

Haptic Design & Sensory Wellbeing Innovation
Studio Boey specializes in designing products and experiences that engage the sense of touch and extend beyond conventional perceptions. With a keen focus on empathy for evolving social issues, we utilize cognitive insights to identify opportunities for human-centred solutions inventively. Grounded in a deep understanding of human nature, our instinctive design innovation unpacks the normality of personal well-being, translating it into fresh experiences, products, and education.
