Sustainability the ultimate buzzkill? Think again! * What role does pleasure and excitement and thrill-seeking play in encouraging people to make more sustainable choices? * How might you too think like a visionary designer when it comes to your own practice? * How might we establish a new design language, a new exciting aesthetic for the post-carbon age? Picture this: A chance encounter with an electric motorbike in the window of an east London pop-up store. What caught my eye? Not just that it looked like a new fangled electric device, but the promise it held - of a sustainable future brimming with excitement, a far cry from the dreary doom-and-gloom narrative associated with eco-consciousness. Behind this game-changing thinking? STEFAN YTTERBORN, the visionary Swedish designer. Stefan's resume boasts the founding of POC, a powerhouse in winter sports gear since 2004, and later, CAKE – ridecake.com, a hot ticket in the electric motorcycle scene, before his newest studio venture, To Be . #TheGreatTransition, airs next Monday, April 29th, at 5 pm UK , noon EST. (link below) where with my co-host, Mark Bjornsgaard, we'll be exploring the ins and outs of the scramble towards a post-fossil carbon world. Please join us and please share this post, this is going to be a great show! https://lnkd.in/eEH6CFuA Wiktor Skoog in particular and Nils Leonard Bill Scott David Patton you'll be keen to see this one, I am sure you remember our love of POC from the Volvo days... #SustainableInnovation #Ecodesign #SustainableDesign

One more great video to watch on Eco-Design for E-textiles at GFC Video Library! E-textiles are growing at a strong pace - a lot of advantages to get from smart and e-textiles! -, but there is a lot to think and do regarding repairing, and discarding. This is a great research about design strategies carried out by Wei Wang and Daria Casciani at POLIMI. Worth watching! This research has won the Best Research Award on Fashion Innovation last year, and was published in the book of Proceedings - Fashion for the Common Good, from Springer. Enjoy! #fashionresearch #fashioninnovation #fashionsustainability #Ecodesign #DesignStrategies https://lnkd.in/dYTdDauT

Design as a catalyst for a circular society: -Tackling the climate crisis means changing how our economy works (and how it doesn’t). No sector can do this alone. — but designers can make an impact by shifting from linear to circular ways of making, using and living. Next to this, the most important role of design is that of radical imagination: seeing what does not yet exist, making ideas real, and forging ahead with optimism. That is why for this we are looking for creative climate solutions that cut across various sectors and disciplines. This includes new ideas and existing enterprises for how we might reduce the overall impact of our industries: from fashion and packaging, to mobility, electronics, digital services and construction. #BYTOMA #sustainabledevelopment #sustainabledesign #sustainabilityleadership #sustainabilitygoals #sustainablefashion
