Ikego Project - Fall 2024 Co-op
OBJECTIVE
Create an Open and Modular design to contribute to the ikego Project
CIRCULAR SUSTAINABILITY
is a system that emphasizes reuse to minimize waste throughout sourcing, manufacturing, and consumption. This approach limits waste and fosters a more sustainable lifecycle for products.
MODULAR FURNITURE
Helps promote circular sustainability because it prioritizes re-using materials, it reduces the need for new resources, decreases production demands, and promotes reuse over disposal.
OPEN DESIGN
Contributes to this by allowing anyone to contribute designs to the project and use other people’s designs to create their own products. The collaborative style helps make this idea work!
