Goldsmiths, University of London, 18th October, 2011
Anette delivered a workshop and talk for the seminar series: Methods & Processes for all the design students across the Master programmes at Goldsmiths. Together with Hannah Jones, programme leader for MA Design Futures at Goldsmiths the students got to explore the life cycle of a selection of everyday objects in a tactile and qualitative way as well as get an overview of how sustainability informs new visions, strategies and frameworks for design. This sparked some interesting debates on some of the paradoxes and contradictions many products such as: a Patagonia fleece jacket, a wooden stapler or a Guerlain powder refill container may pose, and what more it offered opportunities to rethink about use and adequate lifespan of products.

Oslo National Art Academy, Oslo, 18-20 October, 2011
This year the Master students were asked to take their new campus as a starting point to explore broader lifestyle issues in terms of social and environmental impacts. The aim was to help understand their new community at KHiO, both within the institution as well as it’s relationships with the neighborhood. Together with Hannah Jones from Goldsmiths, the students got to experience a metadesign process by taking part in a series of collaborative workshops with the aim of synergizing interdisciplinary design teams; co-design different design interventions; challenge views of what design is and what it could be.

The conference Changing the Change brought together designers and researchers working in the field of sustainability from all over the world. A strong theme was the role of design and the designers – pointing to extended quality criteria, transdisciplinary teamwork, and a design that doesn’t necessitate material outcomes. Of particular interest was how designers can use their creative and visual skills in communicating sustainable visions.
Mathilda participated with Hannah Jones, a colleague at Goldsmiths and the Metadesign research project, contributing with a paper. Metadesign tools – Designing the seeds for shared processes of change explores a series of approaches and tools that can facilitate collaboration across design disciplines and beyond.

Swedish Luxury, Stockholm - 28. June, 2007
In the context of the launch of the executive S80 to the International lifestyle press, Volvo cars wished to present their new luxury car, by looking closer at where the concept of luxury is going? By unpicking the concept and looking at societal and consumer trends we took a closer look at aspects of Swedish luxury. Reconstructing luxury focused on 3 aspects: the luxury of feeling (celebrating quiet beauty, good craftsmanship, attention to details and personal space), The luxury of caring (enjoying good relationships, closeness to nature and safety) and the luxury of thinking (designing clever functionality and intelligent aesthetics for confident people).
In partnership with Jung relations in Stockholm, Mathilda presented the ideas on Swedish Luxury in a talk and also moderated a panel debate on the topic. All the guests at this event got to get a crash course in eco-driving…
