In Reinventing for Success, you’ll find the story of Fairphone's Fairbuds XL, the first modular, repairable over-ear headphones and winner of the Environment Award at last year’s Henry van de Velde Awards! 🎧🌍 Read the full article below or download the entire magazine for more inspiring stories: https://lnkd.in/eXwmg_dG

When Tomorrowland realized there wasn’t a single event table on the market that met their needs, they asked us to help them develop their own user-friendly event tables: • Seamlessly blends into Tomorrowland’s spectacular decor, enhancing the festival atmosphere. • Designed for festivalgoers to foster togetherness, while being sturdy enough for standing and dancing. • Easy to set up and transport by festival personnel, requiring no heavy machinery or tools. Find out how we added our touch to Tomorrowland’s unforgettable experience: https://lnkd.in/e6SCNzaU

We’re beyond proud to share that moonbird has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024! 🎉 This recognition means the world, as it is our mission to make calm and relaxation accessible to everyone through simple, screen-free breathwork. Our co-founders, Stefanie Broes and Michael Broes, designed moonbird to provide a supportive tool for managing stress and finding balance, whether for sleep, focus, or a moment of calm in a busy day. 💙 As TIME put it: With moonbird, simply hold, breathe, and let its gentle guidance help you shift into a more relaxed, restful state. Whether it’s bedtime or a busy day, moonbird is here to make breathing easier for both adults and kids. Thank you, TIME, for this incredible honor! ✨ https://lnkd.in/eBP_k9Xm

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.
