This book surveys more than 180 award-winning sustainable product designs from around the world, spanning water bottles, energy-generating devices, eco-friendly packaging and everyday goods, to show that sustainable design can also be inventive and well made.
Product Design in the Sustainable Era brings together more than 180 award-winning sustainable product projects from over twenty countries, produced by design offices and companies including IDEO, IBM and New Deal Design. Featured work ranges from reusable water bottles and solar- or wind-powered devices to soil-reactive clocks, air and water purifiers, sustainable funeral products, paper made from animal dung, and eco-friendly chocolates, bikinis, guitars and energy-efficient appliances. The book frames sustainability not as a passing trend but as a driver of elegant, low-impact design.
