Role play, without gender stereotypes

摘要

In order to create a game that avoided distinctions in gender, Christine Oehme began with what already exists. For her thesis, she designed an object that would unite the aesthetic/functional qualities of two world-popular games: a work counter, typically for boys, and a kitchen, usually for girls. The result is a game that can range, thanks to the imagination, from a restaurant to a mechanic's shop. "The world of children is lively, impulsive, amusing, colourful," explains the young designer, who in the meantime graduated from the Universitàt der Kuenste in Berlin.
