Founded in 2020, ECO Solidarity, is an award winning collaborative initiative bringing together leading visionary European design studios during NYCxDESIGN week at ICFF design fair (May 19-21), in collaboration with European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC), fueled by EUNIC Cluster Fund Award.
For this year’s ECO Solidarity Editorial 2024, we bring back design studios and invite new participants to present and discuss new recuperative solutions, to tackle the ethical use of materiality in design and architecture, and restore sustainable balance in urban habitats with empathy for natural environment and human health.
Creation of an aesthetically alluring functional design form made with sustainable methods of production, healthy materials,local resources, and with consideration of end of use is a challenging mission. The design process must be approached holistically from concept research, material sourcing, methods of production, to final product circulation, consumption, and recycling. ECO Solidarity continues to investigate how design directly affects human wellbeing, to demonstrate that sustainability is not just a branding term, or a trend but a practical recuperative solution in response to the world’s most pressing conditions, from global environmental challenges to humanitarian crises.
