Aesthetic properties of a product add significantly to meaning and relevance of a product. In this study, Affective Surface Engineering is used to illustrate and model the link between customer expectations and perception to controllable product surface properties. The results highlight the use of the Soft metrology concept for linking physical- and human factors contributing to the perception of products. In conclusions of the study, future research in Soft metrology is proposed to allow understanding and modelling of product perception and sensations.
