In association with Puma.Safe, the Design Museum is showcasing ‘Sustainable Futures’ from 31 st March – 5th September. This exhibition features design projects that explore issues associated with sustainability. Portrayed through a selection of directional design, the exhibition focusing on how design can lead the way and make a positive contribution towards a more sustainable future.
Curated under five themes: Cities, Energy and Economies, Food, Materiality and the Creative Citizen, Sustainable Futures will explore projects that are either in the market place or in development. Fashion designer Christopher Raeburn and his Digital Rainbow Collection which reuses Ministry of Defense parachute materials will be displayed alongside projects that have not yet been seen by a wider audience, including the Energy AWARE Clock designed by the Interactive Institute in Stockholm that monitors the energy consumption in a domestic household, Local River by Mathieu Lehanneur, a concept for a domestic ‘refrigerator-aquarium’ that breeds freshwater fish and grows herbs at the same time, and Yves Bèhar’s FUSE project for sports lifestyle brand Puma which is set to revolutionise their packaging and distribution system.
Visitors will be encouraged to look at their own consumption habits and recognise the individual role they can play in embracing sustainability. The website CanDesignMakeaDifference.com will also enable visitors to engage with sustainable issues and share their opinions on sustainability.
Jochen Zeitz, Chairman and CEO, Puma AG comments: “PumaVision, through our Puma.Safe program, is honoured to partner with the Design Museum to introduce groundbreaking work in sustainable design. As a business leader in environmental and social initiatives, Puma’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the exhibition, ‘Can design make a difference’, which will drive and encourage individuals and corporations to achieve a higher standard of sustainable practice.”
