Dear Peter, and Alan, you have right, and I have already followed Peter Desmet for more than 4 years during my PhD Research. I assume that emotions play a critical role in users' judgmental systems, since visual aesthetics is traditionally the field in product design that deals with pleasant or unpleasant Emotion. Donald Norman argues that common emotional decisions may use some logic, but the main driving force is emotion, since decision making which has no place for emotion is pitifully incomplete. However, decision-making is a cognitive process where the outcome is a choice between alternatives; therefore, the emotional product designer should ensure that these alternatives fall within the bounds of users' desires. Moreover, when linking Emotion to perception, we can define perception as the detection of Information. Therefore, our Emotion can be a valuble source of Information, if our emotional memory of a design or product is strongly positive or negative, it may cause us to have an overall positive or negative association and may be the reason for us deciding not to purchase that product next time. Some of these decisions could be irrational, as with an emotion from one negative experience such as being wounded by a table's sharp edge, which will then be attached to all tables, including those with rounded edges.

In fact a lot of the academics at TUDelft are doing some interesting work in design and emotion; Elvin Karana, Ruth Mugge, Erik Schifferstein, Anna Pohlmeyer etc and the work that is on the Design and Emotion Society website if you haven't checked that already (and the past conferences from the society too). I've just started a PhD at Loughborough University, UK and am looking at design and emotion in terms of affective responses to aging materials so it would be interesting to see what comes out of your research question.
