Abstract

This chapter explores the concept of bricolage and rhizomatic structures in service design, using the ideas proposed by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The author suggests that viewing service design as a bricolage of different theories, frameworks, concepts, and resources that are pieced together through acts of integration can help to understand the complexity of service design. Such a view supports the development of a pluriversal understanding of service design. Additionally, the chapter discusses the idea of rhizomatic structures in service design, within which a discernable start or end of designing and materiality cannot be found. Such an idea contributes to an understanding of service design as an ongoing and emergent activity, and as part of ongoing transformations. Designing in the service realm becomes a work with bricolages and rhizomes, where the designer engages in exploration of practices of making, pluriversal materials and joining practices.
