    A ladder for trimming the hedge, a paella pan for parties, or a sleeping mat for a camping trip — about 80% of the things we own get used less than once a month. So why buy when you can rent or borrow from your neighbors? How can we encourage more sharing of these kinds of products? That’s the question Circular Flanders asked students in the Ecodesign Challenge 2024.   Last week, our ecodesigner Marie had the pleasure of judging the challenge at Bar Bricolage in Ghent, inspiring and motivating the next generation.   Next month, Tim will join the jury of the Ecodesign Awards. Together with Flanders DC, VITO, Knack Weekend, Design Museum Gent, OVAM, and Circular Flanders, he'll help select the best projects and theses with a focus on circular, sustainable, or ecological design.

    Designing portable, weatherproof and high-performance outdoor speakers with a 360° omnidirectional sound, that is what our project for Escape (now Sonoro Audio Gmbh) was all about! Our product and digital designers crafted this must-have for audiophiles with durable materials and an intuitive app for full control (including keypad lock). A future-proof design that hits all the right notes.   Music to your ears?

    “Why fix what isn’t broken?” That’s often the mindset when it comes to redesigning products—until key manufacturing components like molds or components reach their end of life. In this article, we explore how two companies, LS Bedding and Bednet, used these inevitable changes as opportunities to innovate and elevate their products to the next level. They turned a necessary expense into a strategic advantage. 👉 Want more stories like this?
