planned obsolescence

While I was meant to be working on my dissertation I found an amazing company that have responded to the disposable nature of consumer goods and how companies intentionally make things to not stand the test of time, encouraging buying of more products and increasing wastage.

The company is Vitsoe and I suggest you look them up. What they do with furniture design is fully customer related and customised for you specifically and hand made in Britain. Below is a video about their ethical approach to design inspired by Dieter Rams and some beautiful images of their shelving units.
