  Being German, part of the lure about Australia for me was the desert, as my life was exclusively urban before I arrived here in 1986. Appliances and other products for the home are mainly designed for urban use, where the performance spec’s are a relatively narrow and well known band. For a product to deliver its primary function successfully outside this maintenance, supply and service rich environment and to support health the criteria are much more demanding and critical. (military spec’s not consumer spec’s come to mind) Yet malfunction and low durability of products is, in my experience, often still blamed on the user/s in those environments, when in fact inadequate design is often the reason. Health is existential and product design can make a significant contribution towards improving living conditions and creating healthier home environments by providing health hardware designed to perform reliably and repeatedly in non-urban, maintenance poor, multi user environments.
