Sustainable innovations in retail design
FutureFoodSystem_ChampMagazinePhotographerDanBushaway

The brainchild of Joost Baker, futurefoodsystem was a project based in Australia, that demonstrated the potential of our homes to provide shelter, produce food and generate energy, through the creation of a self sustaining, zero-waste, productive house.

I love this example of creating a positive impact by changing the way we build, live and eat.

Design Museum Gent has developed a low-carbon brick made from municipal waste, that will be used to build the Museum’s new extension.

It’s inspiring to see the use of waste or by-products to create architectural landmarks that will stand the test of time and have a lower negative impact on the environment, setting new standards for the future.

Sustainable design inspiration - Tom Raffield
Sustainable materials in experience design: Darren Hawkes at Chelsea

Tom Raffield is a designer that believes sustainability should be synonymous with good design. It underscores their purpose, inspires their work and informs their culture.

It’s great to see consumer expectations changing to recognise the importance of sustainability, and that this in turn will shift the creative approach of leading designers.
