A few weeks ago, back in Berlin, we got a chance to check out Bright Green Design at BerliNordik as part of the DMY Satellite exhibitions going on all over the city.

BerliNordik – Forum for Sustainable Design – is an international platform that brings together young talented designers from Berlin with their colleagues from the Nordic countries on the subject of sustainable design.

Green design is more popular than ever – and everybody has a different idea of it. But at one point all strategies are coming together: a different understanding of time and value. An understanding, which is based, not on speed and expenditure, but on decelaration. Whether in re-used design, where the value of a product is rescued, even enhanced and transformed into a new definition, or the vision of a perfect cycle, where the resources revolve out of their own, gently.

Berlin Nordic invited visitors to answer several questions: What does sutsainability mean to you? What should the design concepts of tomorrow look like? Which criteria are important…?

The show featured a series of re-purposed innovations, such as this soda can-turned-sharps collector.
