Every product we encounter in our everyday lives was once first designed and then manufactured. To become a circular economy, the designing process is a crucial part to look at to maximize the product's lifetime, reparability, refurbishment, upgrade and finally recyclability.

Impact Hub Basel invites you to discover the world of circular design together with the companies studiocolony and rotavis, by mixing theory and practice. After learning more about the basics of circular design you will be asked to design one of the most used objects by applying circular design principles: a chair!
