Sustainable design (also referred to as "green
design", "eco-design", or "design for
environment") is the art of designing physical
objects and the built environment to comply with
the principles of economic, social, and
ecological sustainability. It ranges from the
microcosm of designing small objects for everyday
use, through to the macrocosm of designing
buildings, cities, and the earth's physical
surface. It is a growing trend within the fields
of architecture, landscape architecture, urban
design, urban planning, engineering, graphic
design, industrial design, interior design and
fashion design.

Fumi Sustainable design is not design to sustain
our society - because our society is not
sustainable anymore. So we have to re-think and
start again, to build something new. We should
come back to learn from nature. The concept of
waste is something that mankind has created.
There is no waste in nature. Everything just goes
in circles, everything is recycled, including us.
So, it is our responsibility to reuse products
again and again until they can not be used like a
product anymore, but as a material. This is
recycling.

Maxine Suttons lovely textile work has a lot to
recommend it. The UK artist uses recycled
textiles, organic fabrics and plant dyed yarns to
embroider wonderful throw pillows, lampshades and
other decorative objects. Her commitment to
eco-friendly materials seems to be matched only
by her talent. On her site you will find quite a
medley of themes, among them organic modern
shapes, folklore, and anatomy, all collaged into
delightful compositions. Via Designturf
