The Professionally Accepted ‘Good Product’
This paper explores the questions of professional assessment of crafts and design production. It is based on the results of research and analysis into professionally good products. These ideas and results are based on my doctoral research which examined the 1980s definition of a professionally good product in Finnish art craft (Kälviäinen 1996a). Perhaps this paper will clarify some of the problems the professional sphere of evaluation causes in the assessment of the research and development work done in crafts and design. The most important issue to be studied in the present research was the definition of the so-called ‘good product’ in crafts and design. Since the 1970s, the concept of a ‘good product’ has been criticized a great deal. The aim of the research was to place this concept in a more considered critical framework.
