Circular Living: Sustainable Design Principles That Work

Sustainability is no longer a niche—it’s a necessity. This lecture goes beyond buzzwords to offer concrete strategies for incorporating circular economy principles into design, production, and marketing in the furniture and home goods industries.

We’ll look at how brands are sourcing renewable materials, designing for disassembly, extending product life cycles, and engaging customers in take-back programs. From bio-based composites to upcycled aesthetics, the session includes examples of environmentally responsible design across scales.

Whether you’re building your first eco-conscious product line or refining your existing approach, this session will provide tools and inspiration for aligning your work with environmental and market realities.
