The chapter is a contribution to the conceptualization of design with regard to the aesthetic experience of everyday occurrences. In the literature, everyday aesthetic experience is viewed as either drawing on the characteristics of objects as part of an ordinary everyday world-of-things or as building on an appreciation of objects that stand out as special. In contrast, I propose an approach whereby the ordinary and special qualities of designed objects intersect and thereby frame a kind of aesthetic experience that is specific by being differentiated through this intersection. To grasp the intersection of ordinary and special, I introduce the theoretical framework of Design Aesthetics. By differentiating between the sensual, conceptual, and contextual dimensions of design aesthetics, the modalities of design, ranging from being silently ordinary to loudly standing out, become apparent. Next, I claim that categories for producing aesthetic appreciation in relation to design have shifted from a from a focus on beauty to a varied multitude of categories of less intensity. In this way, the new aesthetic categories provide a framework for investigating the aesthetics of design in relation to form, function, and purpose, which bridges the dichotomy of the ordinary and the special.
