At a time when 'sustainability' is both personal and global and when 80% of a product's
environmental impact is 'set' in the design phase, the role of design is clearly critical.
Comprising textiles, ceramics, jewellery, furniture and lighting, Sustain me: contemporary design presents contemporary
design works that elicit intimate, integrated and contextualized perspectives on sustainability.
Sustain me: contemporary design is part of Sydney Design
