Description
Hardcover: 240 pages Jonathan Chapman explores why we throw away things that still work and shows how to design products, services, and systems that last. He argues for a design philosophy of better, not more, and calls for the decoupling of economic activity from mindless material consumption. Chapman shares his vision for an "experience heavy, material light" design sensibility, revealing how meaning emerges from designed encounters between people and things. This book demonstrates why design can lead to a sustainable future by increasing the quality and longevity of our relationships with objects and the systems behind them.
