Exhibition: Design Futures: a retrospective – 20 years of design impact

Design Futures Retrospective exhibition

Lab4Living is delighted to host this month Design Futures: a retrospective. On show are selected projects from the last 20 years, conducted by Sheffield Hallam University’s packaging and product design group.

Design Futures is a team of award-winning product and packaging designers and researchers. With frequent collaborations with Lab4Living, Design Futures is helping people to live longer, happier and healthier lives by developing new packaging and product solutions.

Design Futures’ work is informed by the latest research methods and practice through close links with the Art, Design and Media Research Centre. The product and packaging design teams have played a role in supporting regional businesses in the Sheffield City Region through Knowledge Exchange programmes.

In this exhibition, discover some of the challenges that many organisations and companies face and the creative ways in which design can respond to help grow our economy, protect our planet, and support our communities. You’ll be able to see how human-centred design and innovation can make things better for users.

Prospective students visiting the University’s Open Day on Saturday 23rd April will have an opportunity to visit the exhibition, which is just across the road from the Art and Design Department in the Head Post Office building.
