Conditional Longevity, ‘The Umbrellas’
Conditional Longevity asks the question, 'How long should objects last?' through the medium of umbrellas.
Ultra repairable?
Fully recyclable?
Indestructable?
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.
