Design for sustainable degrowth: Demode by Valcucine at Salone del Mobile 2012
DEMODE: Democrtatic Modern Design.
The widespread trend towards eco-sustainability results in the construction of eco-chic products that are totally in contrast with the economical possibilities of young people: The demode project aims at solving this problem by giving people the possibility of purchasing an eco-compatible product at a sustainable price.
Meccanica is a revolutionary eco-sustainable kitchen system both in terms of its construction and of its price: a really democratic modern design product.
To achieve these results demode (engineered by Valcucine) has reinvented the kitchen furniture system by working on the utmost simplification of the carcass: a set of iron tubes that can be easily assembled by the customer make up the framework of the Meccanica furniture. Cancer-inducing emissions of formaldehyde are avoided because no glues are used.
