Blog 5- Objects Designed for Fun

I posted a picture of a jewelry holder I have in my bedroom. It is designed for fun and it serves a functional purpose. It is shaped like a barren tree, with limbs reaching in every direction in which to hang different necklaces from. The book says, "Beauty, fun, and pleasure all work together to produce enjoyment a state of positive affect." I like this jewelry holder because first it helps keep my jewelry organized and in place. It serves a functional purpose, which fits the behavioral level of design. Secondly, it is just a fun design. I bought this stand instead of a jewelry box because it is aestically pleasing and adds beauty to my bedroom. I think it gives pleasure because of its simplicity. It is made of metal and is a solid color. It doesn't stand out, but it has a zen element to it.
