Crecaulre Toolkit Design Process book

ABSTRACT Lives of people in western countries like the United States are extremely mobile as there is a constant need to relocate from point A to B due to change in work, education, or personal reasons. 35.5 million American moves each year refurbishing their house and 15 million tonne furniture goes into landfills which are excessive usages and wastage of resources. This linear pattern is extremely wasteful and unsustainable. Thus, there is an opportunity to create a framework for change and a call to action to move towards circularity.

Design management methods can help innovators in the furniture industry to create circular sustainable products, services, and systems that satisfy both needs of people’s temporary lifestyle and a move towards a circular business model. Thus presenting Creculare, a toolkit to run creative and collaborative workshops to create future ideas for sustainable furniture products based on the principle of circular economy.
