One Object: Nomadic Inspiration (OO:NI) is an installation that taps into, collects, and conjures the worlds of inspiration that power design. Gleaned from design’s historical archive, each week, one object that speaks to the theme of the industrial design bachelor course Understanding Design is exhibited.

In OO:NI visitors share their associations with the exhibited object which are then visualized. Seeing the object displayed in the context of these associations, visitors can view and build on the associations of others with their own associations. The designed world is, after all, a remix of ideas that we can recombine and transform. The goal of making tacit associations explicit is to empower students to explore, appreciate and discuss design’s raw material: sources of inspiration.
