Contemporary understandings of vulnerability highlight its critical, relational and enabling aspects. Through leveraging these understandings, this article contributes to conceptualizing the notion of everyday design by interweaving it with that of vulnerability. A case study brings vulnerability into view by zooming out from and in on everyday practices around an aquarium in a paediatric oncology ward. Subsequently, we unravel the notion of vulnerability as used in design research and in anthropology and philosophy: while vulnerability grounds everyday design philosophically and ethically as a form of care, everyday design challenges the tendency to situate vulnerability in (relations between) human beings. Our article thus exemplifies design anthropology understood as bringing in dialogue theory and methods from both anthropology and design.

当代对脆弱性的理解突出了它的关键，关系和有利方面。通过利用这些理解，本文通过将日常设计的概念与脆弱性的概念交织在一起，为概念化做出了贡献。案例研究通过放大和缩小儿科肿瘤病房中水族馆周围的日常实践来使脆弱性更加明显。随后，我们揭露了设计研究以及人类学和哲学中使用的脆弱性的概念：尽管脆弱性从哲学和伦理上将日常设计作为一种护理形式，但日常设计却挑战了将脆弱性置于人（人与人之间）之间的趋势。因此，我们的文章举例说明了设计人类学，理解为从人类学和设计中引入对话理论和方法。
