The Design of Everyday Things is a best-selling book by cognitive scientist and usability engineer Donald Norman about how design serves as the communication between object and user, and how to optimize that conduit of communication in order to make the experience of using the object pleasurable. One of the main premises of the book is that although people are often keen to blame themselves when objects appear to malfunction, it is not the fault of the user but rather the lack of intuitive guidance that should be present in the design.

  • The Design of Everyday Things is a best-selling book by cognitive scientist and usability engineer Donald Norman about how design serves as the communication between object and user, and how to optimize that conduit of communication in order to make the experience of using the object pleasurable. One of the main premises of the book is that although people are often keen to blame themselves when objects appear to malfunction, it is not the fault of the user but rather the lack of intuitive guidance that should be present in the design. The book was originally published in 1988 with the title The Psychology of Everyday Things. Norman said his academic peers liked that title, but believed the new title better conveyed the content of the book and better attracted interested readers. It is often referred to by the initialisms POET and DOET. Norman uses case studies to describe the psychology behind what he deems good and bad design, and proposes design principles. The book spans several disciplines including behavioral psychology, ergonomics, and design practice. A major update of the book, The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition, was published in 2013. (en)
  • La caffettiera del masochista. Psicopatologia degli oggetti quotidiani (The Psychology of Everyday Things, 1988) è un saggio di psicologia applicata al disegno industriale di Donald Norman, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1988 ritenuto un testo fondamentale sull'interazione uomo macchina. Il saggio è stato ripubblicato in Italia in edizione riveduta e ampliata nel 2019 con un diverso sottotitolo: La caffettiera del masochista. Il design degli oggetti quotidiani Il titolo in italiano si riferisce all'oggetto immaginato da Jacques Carelman e riprodotto nel suo Catalogo d'oggetti introvabili (Catalogue d'objets introuvables et cependant indispensables, 1969), la "Caffettiera per masochisti" appunto, che campeggia nella copertina del libro. Tale oggetto viene preso ad esempio da Donald Norman nel suo saggio quale esempio di oggetto di uso quotidiano disegnato male, il cui utilizzo si rileva impossibile o frustrante. (it)
