PHOTOS: The Best Green Designs at London’s New Designers Graduate Show

The New Designers graduate show is the only design event in London that brings a nation of design students under one roof to show off their best work. Featuring over 3,500 graduates from across the UK, this ideas hub gives us a glimpse of the next generation of design leaders within a gigantic warehouse space in Islington. From felt pods to hide, to slow cooking devices and recyclable appliances, go through our exclusive gallery to discover what this sustainably-minded collegiate crew is brewing up!  

In their Manifesto, the Goldsmiths University states that a production economy based on finite resources does not work and that we have enough chairs (but is nice to sit down). As a critical comment on the amount of chairs and other furniture we see coming and going every year through various designs shows, the renowned Goldsmiths created an all-white space to suggest the re-design design education and to think how it could look in 2020.

Lento, by Joanne Cone is a low-temperature electric cooker designed to teach kids how to slow-cook their own food. It comes with a recipe book full of cute and friendly characters, and a spice box for making all kinds of exotic, yummy dishes.

Another project that focuses on better educating kids is Peat by Edward Barber. Peat is a planting kit that includes a seeds incubator, gardening tools and a seasonal postal program that sends seeds, gardening activities and fun booklets for parents to cultivate an interest in growing with their kids.
