Hacked Design

This blog was created by industrial designers at the University of the Arts to facilitate at home hacking.

Hacking is user initiated product intervention. The idea is to take an object and optimize its function through an alteration that was not intended by the manufacture.

Object + intervention = optimization

Check out the projects below for a few examples of DIY design hacks. Let us know what you think.
