DESIGN PRESSURE COOKER WATER

innovation concerning water

 

House of Design wants to take a step with the business community to make product development more innovative and sustainable. When a designer is involved in product demand at an early stage, this can generate a lot for the company and the environment. Design determines 80% of the costs and the environmental impact of a product is determined!

Design Pressure Cooker
The Design Pressure Cooker (DPC) has proven to be a successful method for achieving sustainable innovation. House of Design has been working with this method for several years – also in an international context – in order to make innovation tangible quickly.

Water
The first DPC took place in December 2015 and the theme was water. Some of the questions that we focus on include: which (other) services can you offer an owner of an electric boat via the charging station? How do you make a rainwater shower? How can we stimulate the use of tap water?

What is special about this DPC is that the designer is supported by students from the Frisian Design Factory (FDA) and Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden (NHL).
