I was sitting here looking for inspiring examples of human centered design when I realized I’m sitting in one. I’m visiting my sister for a few days and she stays in a fifth wheel camper. Looking around, there are many thoughtful features that show an understanding of a human’s daily needs. The space is very customizable and can be altered easily to fit whatever the person using the camper needs most. For example, the dining room nook off of the kitchen features a small but spacious table that can easily be folded to reveal more floor/storage space. The bathroom has cabinets that can be used for towel and linen storage, clothes hanging, or a washer and dryer can be installed. The living room furniture is well secured for moving days but it is also fairly easy to take out. My sister has taken one of her couches out so she can install a wardrobe since she does not entertain many people at once and she owns a lot of clothes.
I think these features focus more on the needs of the user than the aesthetic or form of the design itself.
