Tony Olsson – Beyond the Threshold

Tony Olsson

Lead Product Designer at Axis Communications

From The Conference September 03, 2024

“When we know who enters what, we can also adapt the situation accordingly”

As a part of the session ”Entangled and Enmeshed”, Tony Olsson shares with us his experience of working on UX design for access control management products. Tony (he/him) has been in the tech industry for many years, including at companies like Assa Abloy who, through their manufacturing, work literally with doors and locks.

From physical objects to their virtual counterparts, doors have existed as long as civilisation itself, marking the boundary between the public and private, between the known and unknown. They reflect the complexity of their time and hold deep cultural significance.

Tony warns of potential danger as our virtual doors become more and more invisible. The structure of metaphorical doors, such as login pages, have implications for how we think about digital spaces and places. Tony urges us to think critically about which doors we use and which we remove.
