| contents | <p><span lang="EN-GB">This chapter explores the profound connection between object design and the pursuit of a more just, respectful, and sustainable society in a world shaped by unchecked consumerism. We begin from the hypothesis that transforming our relationship with everyday objects can catalyze significant changes in how we live and how we impact the environment. The Bauhaus already recognized that our relationship with objects fundamentally shapes the way we engage with our surroundings. In this tradition, we propose that a conscious integration of aesthetics, social inclusion, and environmental respect into everyday practices can lead to a more equitable and harmonious society.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">The chapter not only examines the contributions of contemporary designers such as Curro Claret, Martí Guixé, Thomas Thwaites, and Formafantasma Studio, among others, but also engages with the vision of Bruce Mau, who, through his concept of <em>Massive Change</em>, sees design as a force capable of driving systemic global transformation. In addition, we investigate the RRReMaker project, aligned with the principles of the New European Bauhaus, which promotes the creation of objects through material reuse, integrating artificial intelligence into an accessible platform for artisans and designers. RRReMaker also emphasizes the value of craftsmanship and the creative potential inherent in handmade, non-industrialized processes, thereby reviving the core values of the Arts & Crafts movement.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">The RRReMaker project resonates with the <em>Cradle to Cradle</em> philosophy, which advocates for a circular model in which nothing is wasted and everything is reused, aiming to minimize environmental impact through thoughtful design. This approach is complemented by the promotion of responsible consumption habits based on the three R’s: Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle. This chapter, therefore, investigates how design—by fostering sustainability, social inclusion, and artisanal creativity—can serve as a vital driver for building a more sustainable, just, and mindful future.</span></p> |
