“Products can be more than the sum
of the functions they perform. Their
real value can be in fulfilling people‟s
emotional needs, and one of the
most important needs of all is to
establish one‟s self-image and one‟s
place in the world.”

Creative customization and/or
appropriation makes an object a creation
of one‟s self rather than the creation of
some “other.”

emotional needs, and one of the most
important needs of all is to establish
one‟s self-image and one‟s place in
the world.”
