Description

Sustainability has become one of the main key phrases and goals of our time. Environmentally compatible methods of construction and products are hotly sought after - especially when they are appealingly designed. The concept of 'Green Design' includes products from completely different areas of living and completely different aspects of environmentally compatible and sustainable design. Green Design, Vol. 1 presents products that are not only 'green' but which also show good "design": beautiful and functional objects of day to day life, which are distinguished by certain principals of environmental compatibility. Among them are environmentally compatible raw materials, production and disposal, energy efficient or energy independent use, and fair production.
