Tribe Launch – Circular Furniture, Architecture and the Built Environment

Switzerland is one of the world’s design capitals, producing furniture classics, world-renowned architecture and innovations in building science. With such a depth of expertise, there is a great opportunity to share experience and inspire innovation. 

As we look to the future, our challenge is to design objects and environments that keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems; what we call circular design. But what does this mean for the user experience, business models, and how different elements of the industry and supply chain work together?

We aim to inspire your thinking through design portraits of Swiss furniture, architecture and the built environment, exploring how circular thinking is being implemented in their design, material selection, and service models.

JOIN YOUR TRIBE

Impact Hub Basel and Circular Economy Transition invite you to the (virtual) launch of the Circular Furniture, Architecture and Built Environment tribe.

With this event, we are launching a space for circular design discussions, by presenting you a practical case study and giving you a chance to ask questions during our expert Q&A panel. You also get an opportunity to network virtually with peers within and outside of your field. Additionally, we want you to tell us what you’d like to get out of our network, as we plan for the next FABE Tribe events.

This event is open to anyone with an interest in good design, especially industrial designers, furniture companies, architects, interior designers, building engineers, waste and recycling companies, researchers and many more of the field.
