The Tomorrow Collective

The projects presented by Lund University at the Stockholm Furniture Fair are concepts for modern tools for a sustainable life, within private homes or to share.

Sophie-Catherine Ohlsen, Precious Ground. From value to value – reusing coffee grounds

In a time when the single person is becoming more and more distanced from where things come from, how they are made, what they are made of and where they inevitably end up, it becomes increasingly harder to see the consequences of our lifestyles and choices.

We depend on fossil fuel driven transportation systems, monocultural large-scale farming and non renewable, toxic energy sources. Our economies thrive on productivity and consumption and we live like there’s no tomorrow. With our fast and unsustainable lifestyle, is there any room for products that are honest and local? Or do we have to change our way of living as well?

The Tomorrow Collective is about exploring ways of enabling us to live a sustainable life in the future. Inspired by past knowledge of how to grow, make and be, these projects present concepts for modern tools and systems that can be used in a cyclic sense, within private homes or to share in smaller communities. Living the future today.
