Wild Growth

Schliemann, Erik LU (2024) IDEL01 20241
Industrial Design
Abstract (Swedish)
Urbanization has led to a concerning decline in biodiversity within cities, necessitating innovative approaches and greening efforts. This project, named “Wild Growth” is aimed at combating urban biodiversity loss, and increasing pollinator-friendly areas, through the design and development of a flower seed spreader.

Inspired by principles of simplicity, accessibility, and sustainability, the seed spreader is designed to be assembled from laser-cut or sawed plywood or MDF pieces, providing a user-friendly solution that can be locally manufactured and assembled by the end user.

This thesis outlines the research, design process and prototyping iterations undertaken to refine the seed spreader concept. By fostering environmental... (More)
