It's time to [re]design design...

What is design for? It is widely accepted that we have no more than 10 years to turn around our unsustainable ways of living. In this state of emergency, what role can design play in creating positive solutions and true quality of life?

Climate change presents designers with a massive responsibility – and opportunity. As creative thinkers and doers, designers are uniquely placed to review, rethink and remake the products, services and systems that shape our future.

[re]design is a social enterprise that propagates sustainable actions through design. We seek out and promote products and projects that are friendly to people and planet, and partner with a wide range of organisations to pioneer sustainable innovation.

[re]design events and exhibitions examine the ecological imperatives, social and political drivers, and creative strategies that shape sustainable design. We aim to engage diverse audiences – public, education and business – in the [re]design of design.
