A fully modular, zero-waste, plug-and-play concept came to Dubai Design Week (DXBDW) 2023, and it was promised to change the way we think about sustainability. Colab, the first purpose-built material library in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), showcased its RETHINK pop-up at the region’s most anticipated design festival from 7th to 12th November 2023.

A pocket-sized edition made its European debut at the London Design Festival, and by the time Dubai Design Week comes around, it would have appeared at Dutch Design Week as well. Each iteration offers a slightly different experience, but the purpose is always to educate people on the creative potential sustainable materials have to offer. It also helps give local, regional and international material innovators access to a wider platform that they might not have access to otherwise.

LONDON DESIGN BIENNALE 2021

london design biennale

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that design will have a major role to play in shaping our future. It has demonstrated the urgent need for us to radically rethink environments to be sustainable, just, and resilient in the face of the diverse and bigger shocks to come from the climate and biodiversity crises. 

​

What are the radical changes that we could design to benefit the environment, and how can we reach them? Radical design thinking could focus on whole systems, landscapes, localities, and cities design, to addressing food poverty, malnutrition and food production methods, waste systems, materials, transport means and systems, biodiversity, and connecting with different species. 

​

Submissions to the Open Call or featured on the Design in an Age of Crisis Gallery are the work of the individual/s or firms who submitted the entry. The submissions do not represent the views of the London Design Biennale, Chatham House, or steering group members.
