🌸Systemic Design research for industrial sustainable future is blooming! Within the "For Nature/With Nature: New Sustainable Design Scenarios" edited by Claudio Gambardella, a Springer Series in Design and Innovation, two chapters are signed by sys - Systemic Design Lab researchers. From a taxonomy of design approaches for planetary health, to regenerative design, from sustainability assessment for industry 5.0, to twin transition of Travel & Tourism industry and back.   To learn more about them, take a look to:  - Regenerative Design Approach for Twin Transition in Travel and Tourism Sector by Asja Aulisio & Amina Pereno. https://lnkd.in/eQMs6xyd - A Taxonomy of Design Practices for Sustainability Towards Planetary Health by Cecilia Padula & Silvia Barbero. https://lnkd.in/eGA8ESRp Research conducted at Sys aims to contribute to exploring and establishing new ways of design with nature toward sustainable industrial and regional development.

This is how the change happens. On Tuesday we held the first workshop of the Nordic Circular Design Programme for 31 companies. Executive track workshop was run by Ethica Finland and focused on the market changes and EU regulation. The R&D track workshop was by DDC – Danish Design Center focusing on circular product design strategies. On Wednesday we held the last workshop of the Estonian Circular Design Masterclass for 10 companies together with BDA Consulting, EIS and 10 Estonian Design Leads. I got to experience how the mindsets start shifting. What previously was unknown or seemed impossible, starts making business sense. This is how the change happens.

SELUX UNFOLDED: IV/24 Circular Light Profiles - With our Circular Light Profiles, we have developed an innovative technology that scientifically adapts light to the specific needs of humans and animals throughout the day and year. Featuring five distinct circular light profiles—ranging from white light to red-spectrum lighting—our solution provides optimal protection for nature and insects while enhancing safety and aesthetic appeal in outdoor spaces. As a result of this achievement, we were honored with the BSFZ Seal of Innovation Competence by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research for 2024. https://lnkd.in/ecepVFMG

🌟 KNOWNS Framework: A Holistic Lens on Craft Ecosystems 🌟 The IFFTI Annual Conference serves as a platform to research and popularize conversations on sustainability, design innovation, and cross-cultural collaboration. Presented at the 25th Annual IFFTI Conference at Otago Polytechnic | Te Pūkenga Polytechnic, New Zealand, this groundbreaking paper by Adrian Huang introduces the KNOWNS Framework—a tool to empower designers and researchers in understanding the nuanced dynamics of craft ecosystems. With six key dimensions—Knowledge, Numbers, Objects, Work, Networks, and Stories—the framework offers insights to foster sustainable, respectful, and innovative design-craft collaborations. 📖 Dive into the full paper and explore its potential to reshape design practices: KNOWNS Framework - https://lnkd.in/gAybTYYU Join the conversation on sustainable and culturally connected design! 💡✨ #CraftEcosystems #Sustainability #DesignInnovation #CrossCulture

The first DeCo Round Table discussion took place today! The topic was sustainable design for business and it was introduced by Jussi Korhonen from Arctic Factory | Palvelumuotoilu. We discussed the challenges, cooperation and opportunities there are in sustainable business around Europe. We noticed that there are similar problems as well as opportunities for change everywhere. The most important takeaway: We are not alone in this. Cooperation, discussion and sharing can make all the difference. This is a good start.   DeCo – Design Collaboration for Sustainable Business – is an Interreg Europe project which aims at improving local, regional and national development policies in sustainable and circular design, production and manufacturing. This is achieved through the exchange of experience, innovative approaches and capacity building.   Lead Prtner: LAB University of Applied Sciences Project partners: Päijät-Hämeen liitto, Public Institution for the Development of the Međimurje County REDEA, Regional Development Fund of Central Macedonia, International Hellenic University, The Official Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation of Spain, Podkarpackie Centrum Innowacji, Moravian-Silesian Innovation Centre Ostrava, Wallonie Design, Design Forum Finland   #interregeurope #designcollaboration
