Design for Disassembly

As politicians, the media and social expectations are continually mounting pressure to reduce, reuse and recycle, there is equal pressure on designers to offer solutions which easily lend themselves to these motives. By incorporating these notions into a design, it can become inherently 'green', but also retain full practicality, functionality and also adopt a subtle, fundamental beauty.

I have focused my design efforts on identifying major material groups which are abundant in our waste stream and creating a range of products which are 'designed for disassembly'.

Utilising eco-materials, simple infrastructure and precise design techniques these products not only fulfil their purpose but they help you reduce your waste footprint. By creating objects fit for universal everyday use it allows them to be sold via design outlets worldwide and will be in a store near you soon.
