Associate researcher
Oskar Jonsson is particularly interested in studying issues concerning human-environment interaction. To reach a more sustainable society, an effort is to enable both people and built environments to age with dignity. His research concerns ageing and health in relation to the design of public environments, housing and household goods.
In addition, Oskar Jonsson is interested in questions about how the different forms of knowledge; research-based knowledge, people's lived experience and practitioners' practice-based knowledge can be integrated and translated into action.
The research areas are the arts and sciences of design and health, without being discipline-specific. Oskar Jonsson’s prior education includes a PhD in Industrial Design, an MFA in the History and Theory of Design, a BSc in Furniture Design and a Journeyman in Cabinet Making.
Thesis
Oskar Jonsson’s doctoral thesis "Furniture for Later Life" focused on how older adults act on, are influenced by, reflect on and appreciate furniture in their homes. The aim was to improve the conditions for the design of furniture with and for older adults and the housing forms in which they live with their own experiences as a point of departure.
