- Abstract
- The design field is at a determining moment, with socially and environmentally
imminent threats in the coming decades. To tackle such complex problems requires
extensive and adaptive responses. Design at the intersection of anthropology,

A starting point for designers could be to start digging were we stand instead of traveling all over the world for inspiration and production methods and to start exploring our own terrains with regard to resources and inspiration, such as old technologies that used their geographical area and assets closest at hand at their time.

The project resulted in a translation of a traditional extinct Scanian seat cushion with an accompanying stool. The translation could be described as a partnership between low-tech and high-tech design methods, an odd couple who may need to start working together more to tackle the complex challenges of our time.
