Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide health crisis with a major negative impact on the subjective well-being oflarge populations. over time, people, including non-vulnerable groups such as healthy young adults, were found to entera state of languishing: neither depressed nor flourishing, but stuck in between. the current manuscript describes a design case that aimed to contribute to young adults’ well-being within the limits of governmental measures with a well-being supporting design intervention. informed by the humanistic perspective on flourishing, the design focused on the enjoyment
experienced when fulfilling psychological needs. the resulting design, unravel, is a toolkit that enables the user torediscover how even simple daily activities (such as cooking) can serve as a platform for exploring and experimenting with
one’s personal need fulfillment. the case can inform designers (and design researchers) with an example of a structuredapproach to design that focuses on the fulfilment of psychological needs.
