CONSCIOUS SKI GLOVE
(2020) In Diploma work IDEL01 20201Industrial Design
- Abstract
- The background or idea of this project came from
when I was living in Chamonix, France, for two
winter seasons where I skied and climbed. During
this time, I saw how much humans really do affect the environment.
This in turn made me want to investigate what
sustainability is and how we, as future designers,
can influence this subject. The investigation revealed that the key to a more sustainable world is
making use of circular economies and long-term
thinking.
It is not only the product’s material that should
be taken into account but also, for example, how
it could be made easier for users to take care
of, repair and recycle the product. It shows the
importance of taking all the different stages of
a product’s life-time... (More) - The background or idea of this project came from

importance of taking all the different stages of
a product’s life-time into consideration and to
design for user’s needs rather than for designers
own aspiration or taste.
The conclusion of the sustainability research was
then implemented in the project using design
methodology to design an alpine pro ski glove for
the company Stellar Equipment. (Less)
