Founder, Jo Barnard ran a speculative design workshop last week. The theme, products and services for 2050... What ideas do you have on this? Add in the comments below. #future #designfuture #2050
On Friday we had our latest Design Declares event, and it was incredible. The speakers: Sophie Thomas, Afreen Saulat, Tobias Revell and Alexie Sommer brought insight and experience to the stage. Urging us to reframe how we think about waste, use care as a tool for design and how to look to the future when designing for the present. During the speculative design workshop run by Tara Hanrahan and I, groups proposed products or services for a range of 2050 scenarios. It was amazing how much they achieved in less than 90 minutes working with complete strangers. But more than anything I was, once again, just in awe of the energy and passion for learning, sharing and taking action this growing community brings to these events. If you missed out this time… don’t miss the next one. Shout out to Sandrine Herbert Razafinjato and Abb-d Taiyo for their ongoing passion and hard work making things like this happen. Sustainable Ventures for hosting, TDC PR and Morrama | Certified B Corp for sponsoring and Pip & Nut | B Corp for the snacks! As well as everyone who helped out on the day. 💚 #designdeclares
