Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rolf Keller: Wie hält Vitra Designmöbel im Kreislauf?
Q: How does the refurbishment process integrate with existing production lines?
Refurbishment is integrated by using the current lines for disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly, with a dedicated team handling non-standard tasks like complex demounting and partial reassembly when needed.
Conny Bakker: How do we design products for more than one life?
Q: What would a future look like where circular design is normalized?
Society would accept long product lifespans, reliable repair, and thorough recycling as the norm; it would require system operators and orchestration across everyday life to shift mindsets.
Conny Bakker: How do we design products for more than one life?
Q: How can designers engage with business models and value chains?
Designers should move towards systemic design or systems orchestration, collaborating with economists, procurement, policymakers, and other disciplines to shape long-term strategies and policies.
Conny Bakker: How do we design products for more than one life?
Q: What is the biggest gap between circular ambition and real implementation?
The gap is the lack of a systemic approach; many attempt superficial changes like recycled components without addressing broader systemic implications, which leads to limited impact.
Conny Bakker: How do we design products for more than one life?
Q: What is circular design in very practical terms?
Conny explains it as designing products to last longer, ensure materials can cycle through reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishment, and recycling, and then expanding the scope to consider supply chains, consumer preferences, and business models.
