Individual Design involves designing not a single product, as in traditional design, but what we call a Meta-Design. A Meta-Design is a framework in which the consumer may modify his or her product. The designers job is to make sure that the consumer is supported in their design process and can not specify a product that does not reach functional or aesthetic requirements.

Sensors inside the bag transmitted the punches to a computer, creating a one of a kind 3D printed lamp shape according to the positions and impact of the blows.
