• Our economic system is based on a continuous production of things that have to be sold to feed the machine of production.


  Since the 1950s, planned obsolescence, or the design of products to fail within a short life span, has been in wide use throughout various industries. It is a core hidden strategy to increase consumerism, both affecting and decreasing our global resources.


  This project aims to explore how we can plan the non-obsolescence of objects, to reduce waste and to create a better understanding of our relationship with the products surrounding us.
