Designing for the Repairable Office: Product Evolution, Material Scarcity, and the Long Term

How do we design for a world of finite resources? 

Join design duo Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd of Pearson Lloyd, alongside journalist and editor Amy Frearson, for a live exploration of the Repairable Office. Using the new PLC Studio chair, designed for Modus by Pearson Lloyd, as a physical case study, this dynamic session examines the shift towards dematerialisation, longevity and long-term product evolution. Moving through the exhibition, the group will explore design-for-disassembly principles, circular material choices and the value of shared parts across multiple applications, before concluding with an open discussion on how design thinking must evolve in response to changing workplace behaviours and increasing resource constraints.

Talk to be followed by a Q&A, and a drinks reception from 6.30pm.
