Inhabitat

Me parecio simpática esta idea jaja sobretodo después de haber comido carne con cuchara desechable en la universidad por no encontrar cubiertos decentes, de lo peor esa vaina. Din-ink como se ve en la imagen, biodegradables, higiénicos, etc. Lo vi en Inhabitat, estos tipos dicen algo en lo que estoy de acuerdo.

We are frustrated by the fact that a lot of what we see being touted as “good design” in magazines and at stores is all style and no substance. A lot of contemporary design merely imitates the classic Modernist aesthetic without any of the idealistic social agenda that made Modernism such a groundbreaking movement back in the early 20th Century. The flip side to this is that oftentimes real technological innovations - the ones which will eventually change the way we live our lives - are often not packaged into enough of a stylish aesthetic to move beyond niche circles and crossover into mainstream popular taste.

Likewise, we are frustrated at seeing an emerging category called “Green Design” - as if sustainability is somehow seperate from good design in general. We believe that all design should be inherently “Green”. Good design is not about color, style or trends - but instead about thoughtfully considering the user, the experience, the social context and the impact of an object on the surrounding environment. No design can be considered good design unless it at least attempts to address some of these concerns.
