Exhibition for COP 15: Responsible Living
Sustainable design
“What is sustainable design in the year 2009?”
This question has been the starting point of a collaboration between the Danish Design School and the design firm Mater that specializes in this area. A group of 12 students has been given the brief to experiment with materials and design methodology through a ten week period in order to generate new sustainable products.
The students has worked with issues of implementing ideas of CSR and sustainability into the design method aimed towards generating a fresh outlook on how designers can contribute to a constructive development of the field of product design. The students have met with experts from the Danish governmental development assistance organization Danida, The Danish Federation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, the CSI firm Social Action as well as with the collaboration partner Mater, and they have learned about the obstacles and possibilities involved when taking up such a challenging exercise. Furthermore; the students have had completely open guidelines to experiment with materials, theories, methodologies, processes and production methods in order to generate innovative ideas. The results are shown here at the Danish Design School during the COP 15 for your convenience.
Enjoy the experience of sustainable luxury design.
In collaboration with Mater 12 students of different backgrounds have made 9 inspiring concepts that concern craftsmanship, CSR and sustainable aspects.
Come and have a look at the concepts and the stories behind in the exhibition hall (Glassalen) on December 8th – 13th or come and meet the designers on December 10th.
