Sustainability by Design
Design plays a crucial role in the environmental performance of products. Below you can download five different fact sheets dealing with sustainability by design.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN
Design plays a crucial role in the environmental performance of products and services throughout their life cycles.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN: LIGHTING
The lifestyle in Denmark as in the rest of Scandinavia is highly influenced by light – or the lack of it. We enjoy the long summer nights yet during the dark winter modern life would be virtually impossible without artificial lighting.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN: CRAFTS
Crafts are at the centre of creation of the physical surroundings in our everyday lives. Joining together individual artistic expression and industrial mass manufacturing, craftspeople add an extra layer to design.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN: INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Industrial design was born to support mass production. While the rational approach of reducing manufacturing costs and time was the starting point, soon the qualities achieved by embedding identity through the choice of shape, surfaces and colours were added.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN: FURNITURE
Furniture design is at the core of our everyday lives. Whether we are aware of it or not, furniture embraces our body and creates and defines the spaces and surfaces we interact with when working, sleeping, eating, relaxing or commuting.
SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN: PUBLIC SPACES
Public spaces shape our everyday lives
through the possibilities, limitations
and experiences they offer. They shape
our neighbourhoods by defining
physical and mental barriers and
connections, and they tell a story about
the society which created them.
