The Challenge
New practices for industrial designers
- Conventional industrial design is often only economically oriented
- Positive communication of possibilities for change
- New integration of non-designers into the process
The Process
Participatory & experimental Furniture design
- Participatory workshops on upcycling materials
- Expert interviews & research into alternative approaches
- Experimental, public DIY chair assembly competition
The Result
8 chair frames as an example of co-design
- Public pop-up exhibition of all the created chairs
- Visualizes concept for future practices in industrial design
- Example of new forms of design, consumption & production
