Official Master's Degree in Experiential Interior Design

Experiential Interior Design (EID: Experiential Interior Design) refers to the practice of implementing experiential values to space design and is a new approach to the development of interior spaces emphasizing human experiential needs.

The notion of the EID takes shape from the subjective impacts of a designed environment on the formation of individual experience. This environmental experience is defined as the result of human interaction with a physical space and generates a specific emotional or intellectual impact.

Today we can identify as an agent facilitating experience any product, space or service whose characteristics refer directly to the meaning that a person can extract from themselves with respect to the possible ways of using it.

On the other hand, the incorporation of the user's experiential dimension in the space was born in response to the paradigm shift in the brand-customer relationship. Today's consumer is no longer a passive entity, he now has a more critical and informed profile and seeks an interaction with the brand's universe on various platforms or channels: on a web page, a mobile application, an advertising poster or on the physical space of a store.
