Can Sustainable Design Make a Difference?
By Cyndi Rhoades on April 14, 2010
It might not save us, but it can influence our impact on the world…
Last night we celebrated the launch of the Sustainable Futures exhibition at the Design Museum with our Eurostar pals and champions, Pascale and Sandra.
The exhibition is running until September and explores a range of products, concepts and projects that address issues of sustainability in their design, including Worn Again’s very own Eurostar Train Managers bag, designed by Benjamin Shine, made from decommissioned staff uniforms and seat cushions.
The bags are soon to go into production at our manufacturing partner’s factory in Woolwich and should be live and in action on board Eurostar trains speeding through the hearts of London, Brussels and Paris in a few short months.
Other forward thinking concepts and designs include our very own Christopher Raeburn (designer of Worn Again’s Bon Voyage collection) and his Digital Rainbow Collection which reuses Ministry of Defense parachute materials, the Energy AWARE Clock designed by the Interactive Institute in Stockholm that monitors the energy consumption in a domestic household, and Local River by Mathieu Lehanneur, a concept for a domestic ‘refrigerator-aquarium’ that breeds freshwater fish and grows herbs at the same time.
Get on down there when you can! Find out more.
