Design needs to stop chasing progress and start going round in circles. The critique of modernism’s rampant faith in progress has necessitated a rethinking of design’s relation to development and thus also to time.
Shielded from the noise and traffic of the busy Storgata is Studio Prindsen, a shared creative space located in an old factory building in one of Oslo’s historically less attractive areas. Among the designers based here is Growlab, a design studio established by KhiO-students Mads P?lsrud and Tabea Glahs in 2012.
In 1969 International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) organized its sixth conference in London, titled ?Design, Society and the Future?. Among the speakers was a Swede who demanded that the future should be sustainable.
