This paper presents a detailed analysis of the uses of sticky notes in a range of design-oriented activities, from three different projects. The paper makes two principal contributions. First, it introduces a socio-material analytic for the study of design materials, and exemplifies this analysis with respect to video data of designers’ uses of sticky notes. Second, it illustrates how the material properties of sticky notes come to have interactional consequences in the performance of particular social actions. Four general thematic considerations emerge from this socio-material analysis of sticky notes: (1) a reappreciation of the embodiment of space, ownership and actions-with-notes; (2) the interactional history of notes; (3) the social and conceptual inertia of gestalt contextures; and (4) the unity of the social, material and conceptual in embodied design activity.

本文详细分析了便签在一系列面向设计的活动中的使用，来自三个不同的项目。这篇论文有两个主要贡献。首先，它介绍了一种用于研究设计材料的社会材料分析，并举例说明了这种分析关于设计师使用便签的视频数据。其次，它说明了便签的材料特性如何在特定社会行为的表现中产生相互作用的后果。对便签的社会材料分析产生了四个一般性主题考虑：(1) 重新认识空间、所有权和带便笺的行动的体现；(2) 笔记的交互历史；(3)格式塔语境的社会和概念惯性；(4) 社会的统一性，
