Designing for Hazard-Proof Living
As we pursue the critical goal of reducing emissions and greenhouse gas levels, it is inevitable that we will have to live with significant changes to the global climate. In the coming years and decades, design will continue to play a key role in providing care and safety for inhabitants. Businesses and brands can help build climate resilience by providing consumer solutions that prepare individuals to live with, and live within, those changes.
We’re navigating the topic of climate transformation using one of the more intimate categories of products as a starting point—clothing. By drawing on “Clothed in Chaos,” frog’s collaboration with wearable technology brand, Machina, we explore and imagine some of the ways that high-tech garments, wearables—and a brand new mindset—can protect us from what may become a more hostile planet, while contributing to protecting the planet itself.
