Philippe Starck spoke with FRAME about his recent work for Andreu World, explaining why balancing craft with tech fulfils our need to create with that for more responsible practice.
STARCK envisions a new era of design that seamlessly blends age-old craft with cutting-edge technology. This philosophy is perfectly captured in the Olena chair, his latest creation for the brand.
Imagine this: an "eco-tech vision" of a medieval chair, crafted from just 3 pieces of plywood and 3 wooden clavets. Starck calls this approach "eco-tech," a beautiful marriage of nature's wisdom, traditional human skills, and the boundless potential of technology.
This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about achieving true sustainability – a core focus of Starck and Andreu World's collaboration. As Starck says, creating is fundamental to humanity, but we must do it responsibly.
"That's why the subject is to use the minimum of everything and to design for longevity, for transmission – for heritage,' Stack says. ‘Modernity is longevity.'"

The Ikego project follows a spefic approach to sustainable circular design. Design with multipurpose parts. We wrote a longer article explaining the approach. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eWAekg7V#multipurpose#sustainable#design
doTERRA's focus on the environmental experience transforms the industrial setting into a welcoming area. The presence of the brand is the element that reveals in the essence of the design. #brandedenvironmentdesignhttps://hubs.ly/Q02zS9h_0
Introducing Norma, the latest modular bench system crafted by emiliana design studio. Beyond its durable and adaptable design tailored for bustling indoor and outdoor settings, Norma embodies a profound commitment to sustainability.
Norma’s responsibility to circular design at every level of its construction sets it apart. From its inception, each component is projected to be easily detachable, repairable and distinctly identifiable to simplify maintenance and pave the way for efficient disassembly and further recycling processes.
By embracing strict eco-design criteria, Norma integrates functionality with environmental management, presenting an exemplary solution for spaces aiming to set new standards.

Sustainable design is an increasingly important approach to creating products and services that consider environmental and economic impacts from the initial phase through to end-of-life.
Let's look at the primary practices that will be in demand this year⬇️

Some Family-Spaceship designs.
the idea of the solar-sails is to reduce fuel consuption when possible,
the whole design is kind of based on Insects so i thought it quite fitting thematically :)

I saw this quote written on the window of Paustian A/S in Copenhagen during 3daysofdesign, and think it sums up perfectly how we should approach sustainability - as a whole business, with longevity in mind.
It takes an eye for design.
Knowledge of materials.
Concern for the environment.
A love for furniture that can be used for generations.
It takes respect for tradition.
And the courage to think differently.

Using Flokk design principles, the HÅG Tion and Celi from 9to5seating can help companies and buildings reduce their carbon footprint. These chairs are some of the most sustainable products designed to date, with the Tion and Celi being on average 77% and 75% post-consumer product, respectively.

This competition is one of my favourites from last year. It required a lot of commitment to approach it in a “unique” way, since the aim was to design an urban street lamp that was made by recyclable materials.
What we chose to do was to use random utensils, that are part of our everyday life, blended together that could somehow “rhyme” with nature. By using a plastic laddle spoon, a glass dispenser and a simple light bulb mimicking the body of a bird placed over a coat-hanger (the tree), we were trying to give a sensational touch to the dullness of the city.
What I saw as the most challenging and interesting activity was the design process at first, and then the “doing it for real” part at the end. Cutting glass, implementing light and making it work as a whole piece was an adventurous trip for us. Sometimes by doing things without technological means makes you understand how the human brain and its capacity can achieve great things.
