| Synopsis: |
Green is now everyone's favorite color. Design products with future generations in mind. Consumers are increasingly sensitive and concerned about sustainability. Indeed, a recent study of purchasing habits shows demand for sustainable offerings remains strong - despite the economic downturn. According to a Cone Consumer Survey (February 2009), 44 per cent of consumers say their 'green' buying habits remain unchanged despite the current economy, and one-third of consumers say they are even more likely to buy green today than they were previously. Sustainability is not a passing fashion, and people are constantly searching for more information, products and innovations in this area. Designers, in turn, are responding with elegant, efficient, low-impact products that look towards a sustainable future. This book brings together over 100 such innovative and award-winning projects from over 20 countries, launched by leading design offices and companies worldwide, including IDEO, IBM, and New Deal Design.Featuring reusable products from water bottles and diapers to solar- and wind-powered goods; clocks that run by reacting with soil; air and water purifiers; coffins and urns for sustainable funerals; paper made from elephant and sheep dung - as well as eco-friendly chocolates, bikinis, guitars, energy efficient appliances and much more - this is a state-of-the-art update on the sustainable revolution in product design. |
