Conditional Longevity: The Umbrellas
Industrial Design Storytelling, Production
2021
Conditional Longevity asks the question, 'How long should objects last?' through the medium of umbrellas.
Each of the umbrellas explores different takes on approaching longevity, and users are presented with the impact data, downsides and benefits of each. The aim is to open up the debate on which strategies in product design are truly 'best' suited to our needs, and question our own assumptions around what are the best approaches to manufacturing.

Conditional Longevity: The Data
Industrial Lifecycle Analysis, Data Modelling
2021
One key aim of Conditional Longevity was to investigate and prove the environmental impact of different industrial practises. Looking at lifecycles, carbon dioxide emmissions from materials and processes, I was then able to model the consequences of each umbrella. It gave some fascinating and uncomfortable truths; namely that longlasting objects must be used many hundreds of times more than we would naturally use them, in order for them to be worth it in terms of their damaging impact.
