Sumario:The model of ideal dominant in the western countries, which privileges rapid consumption and the constant search for efficiency, seems to be collapsing. The products do not seem to bring more comfort and the acceleration observed at work is transferred to everyday life. The Slow movement opposes this model, arguing that the fastest cannot always be considered the best and that consumption for consumption’s sake is meaningless. This paper presents a proposal for a slow approach to the perception of user needs and the definition of characteristics of products and services based on the consideration of six principles of Slow Design: reveal, expand, reflect, commit, participate and evolve. A literature review on the subject is carried out and an example of application of the Slow Design principles to a consumer product, an electric oven, is presented.
