For the fifth time, Studio Peipei led a #workshop for the Master in Design through New Materials at Elisava School of Design and Engineering This time on the topic of "Natural Fibers". There are so many forgotten or barely known natural fibers, but at the same time, plastic is also everywhere in fabrics. With a recycling rate that is still close to zero. As designers, we can change this because, after all, we design products. The workshop is therefore intended to help students discover healthier alternatives. #naturalfibers #materialdesign

Stanford Designer has made bricks out of fast growing Mushrooms that are stronger than concrete. Bay-area designer Philip Ross is revolutionizing construction with his patented "mushroom bricks," made from the mycelium of reishi mushrooms. These bricks are incredibly durable, waterproof, non-toxic, fire-resistant, and biodegradable. Ross has already showcased their potential with "Mycotecture," a 6x6 arch, and plans to build a house for 12-20 people using this innovative material. Stronger than concrete and potentially replacing plastic polymers, mycelium bricks are a promising eco-friendly building solution. Discover more about this groundbreaking technology from Mycoworks! #EcoFriendly #Innovation #SustainableLiving

We need to rethink the tender process. Supply chain research doesn't happen until pretender stage in built environment projects. Yet designers are hired and concepts are created before pretender begins. If design concepts were to form following regenerative supply chain research, they would be informed by resources and become more regenerative. This would also reduce risk in decision making at tender stages and ensure designers are hired in alignment with the supply chain. Simple and clear. Now let's change the system #regenerativedesign #supplychain #resources #builtenvironment #biodesign #biofabrication #codesign

Unpopular opinion: Sustainable design isn't just about materials. True sustainability in hardware means: 1. Designing for repair, not replacement 2. Choosing serviceable components over sealed units 3. Creating upgrade paths for future improvements 4. Minimizing material variety for better recycling The most sustainable product is the one that never needs to be replaced. How are you designing for the circular economy? #SustainableDesign #CircularEconomy #Engineering #innovation #design #designstudio #productdevelopment #productdesign #makeinindia #madeinindia #defence #defenceproduct

Bringing new products to life as industrial designers, I firmly believe that we also have a fair share of responsibility for the resources used by and for our designs. Structurally integrating sustainable design principles into every step of the design process is essential to achieve a circular economy, from integrating sustainability on a conceptual system level to minimising a product’s energy consumption, choosing the right materials, and enabling easy disassembly. I very much enjoyed deepening my knowledge of sustainable design and engineering methods to improve the #reuse, #repair, #remanufacturing, and #recycling of products for a circular economy through the course “𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆" taught by Delft University of Technology, Technische Universität Clausthal, Leiden University and Swerea IVF. #circulareconomy #industrialdesign #sustainablebydesign Image credits #ellenmcarthurfoundation

#SaturdayInDesign with a difference! It was a refreshingly different experience for me this year, attending Stylecraft for a panel discussion curated by Nicole Johnson on the next generation of materials....a conversation that desperately needs to be had about evolving our material and product supply chain towards a #circulareconomy. And so full of hope and excitement to hear what's actually happening. Highlights of the discussion... - Su-Fern Tan's overview of the GBCA's new fitout tool in late stage development...focusing on circularity, to build less and build well, and carbon reduction. - Andrea Rossetto introduced PaperShell - a new circular, carbon negative and fully biodegradable seating material being used to replace polypropylene in the classic Catifa chair. - Ben Rennie's analogy of approaching building to Coco Chanel's infamous fashion rule... "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off" (love this, on so many levels!) - And finally, new materials superstar ⭐ Veena Sahajwalla, who after solving for one issue by inventing Green Ceramics manufactured from waste, has turned her attention to the re-invention of aluminium through it's extraction from the humble potato chip packet...so many possibilities! It's truly an exciting time for the future of materials & circularity in the built environment. To see concepts that have been merely talked of in abstract terms for years start to take a practical shape suggests that change is here. #futurematerials #circularity Indesign Media Asia Pacific, Design Declares Australia, Green Building Council of Australia, CBRE, UNSW Engineering, Arper, Reny Studio, Stylecraft

German Design Award Gold Winner, Biobased Transparent SUPERNOTE SUPERNOTE Nomad adopts a modular design, allowing users to replace their batteries without the need to scrap the entire product due to battery issues. This design not only reduces the generation of electronic waste, extends its service life, but also helps to protect the environment. It embodies a sustainable design concept. The outer shell of the product is based on biological materials, which have antibacterial properties and are free of phenolic allergens. The screen handwriting film and packaging materials also use environmentally friendly materials, further reflecting the sustainable design characteristics of SUPERNOTE Nomad. Forward thinking design consultant YANG DESIGN won the 2024 German Design Award Gold Award with this innovative design product. https://lnkd.in/gnsSAaWK #cmf #cmfdesign #color #branddna #pi #productidentity #branding #finish #form #industrialdesign #productdesign #consumerelectronic #colordesign #transparent YANG DESIGN
