revolve - exploring circularity
Together with Volvo Cars increasing circular mindsets within Volvo and exploring possibilities for circular material streams.
BACKGROUND
Volvo wanted to explore possibilities with a certain material in their business that has a short life spann. The aim was to increase the circular mindset within material development, and therefore increse the material’s life.
CHALLENGE
This project was investigational at an early stage, and therefore we had to be as broad as possible and only focus on showing the material’s properties. Therefore, the challenge was to develop the material without a clear goal, to find the extremes and variation possibilities that you can achieve with different treatment methods.
SOLUTION
We produced material prototypes that illustrated different properties: Tactility, shaping possibilities, strength, softness, detail richness. By presenting these combined with a workshop, we wanted to spark creativity by giving new perspectives on the material.
RESULt
The workshop resulted in that we adressed segments within Volvo’s business that the material could be suitable for.
