Abstract:
The notion of design is one of the tools of globalization in the context of transferring cultures. Domestic daily life provides appropriate objects and related practices in order to examine material culture interactions. The values and the meanings of objects in relevance of daily life activities and practices collaboratively construct our material environment. This research discusses the issue of culture at the interactions of users, objects and practices. The research explores designed objects that bring cultural codes in kitchens and living rooms of selected Izmir homes. The study emphasizes that the negotiation at the interaction of daily life objects and users. The negotiation records that the objects are interpreted in daily life through the behaviours or reflections such as ignoring, accepting and resisting. The values of objects are studied in relevance of daily practices and usage processes in the cultural contexts. The main issue of this study is to understand the values of the objects within the cultural perspective in the globalization context. Key Words: Design and Culture, The Values of Objects, Material Culture, Object-User Relation.
