"We know that nearly all designers are aware of climate change. They care deeply about making an impact. But many haven’t realised that one of the most powerful levers they have to drive change isn’t quitting their jobs to work in climate—it’s embedding circularity into every design decision they make." Koskela's latest journal post linked below explores this idea and shares some great insights generously provided by Lucy Sutton of Bates Smart. #circulardesign #designforcircularity #Australiandesign
At Koskela, one of our core values is to be a leading voice in advocating for a more sustainable commercial real estate sector, circularity in furniture and beyond. Right now, 95% of commercial furniture ends up in landfill, contributing to a staggering 10 million tonnes of office furniture waste per year in the US and Europe, according to The New York Times. The industry’s current approach to fit-outs—where furniture is chosen for function and aesthetics alone—needs to shift. Designers have an opportunity to bring their clients on the journey, showing them that choosing circular furniture isn’t just about sustainability, but about smart, future-proofed design. We know that nearly all designers are aware of climate change. They care deeply about making an impact. But many haven’t realised that one of the most powerful levers they have to drive change isn’t quitting their jobs to work in climate—it’s embedding circularity into every design decision they make.
