Design in the Anthropocene

Since the very first day of Livework aimed to improve lives. Today, 19 years later, Livework can no longer ignore that we need to consider our planets health for that pursuit. One of Liveworks founders, Ben Reason, has taken the company on an explorative journey: Can design take responsibility for the key role it played in the development of our industrial consumer society? And can design play a role in reducing the human impact on the planet? Can we reduce consumption, whilst still growing prosperity? In her talk, Anna van der Togt invites us to embark on the same journey Liveworks founder is taking her and her colleagues. Let's explore the potential qualities of a redesigned design."
