Video

Special thanks to u for useful information <3

nice demo - subscribing from today! Hey, what is the app you are using to compile all the images on? kind of late to the party but trying to catch up on using AI as design assistant.

Like these guides. Thanks.

Me throughout this entire video: WHAT YEAR IS THIS 😂

I feel in those design the desire to show order in a too loud world. through repetitive geometrical patterns and stiff orderly alignments.

Nice video, it looks like the size of the charger suggested a smaller casing and also the packaging could have been optimised ? You already had one "eco material" aluminium, so you could reduce the number of processes and that will reduce the number of suppliers and logistics involved. Interesting process for sustainability design. We need more guidelines like this.

I learned nothing. but still thank you.

Nice overview video. There are a ton of paths to walk when it comes to sustainable design. Goal setting with orgs is a first great initial step. Wireless charging is notoriously inefficient, so there’s that. Cork availability is dwindling, so I would’ve spec’d reclaimed cork, or even better, a bamboo maybe? Aluminum is a super solid choice as more than 70% is still in circulation and will most likely be a reclaimed aluminum in one way or another. The fasteners you used were a decent choice, I would’ve used shorter ones and not pulled the cork upper down into the aluminum cavity as far. Come to think of it, maybe a PLA would’ve been a good choice for the upper housing but I’d have to check the LCA tool I use by, Sustainable Minds. Check that out. I’m sure you’d get some good info off there. I think the largest challenge with designers designing green products is their own lack of education around the topic. ;) cheers.

A series about Braun design would be amazing!

Great video don't get me wrong. But I feel like design have been the same for almost 10 years. Maybe I'm missing something.

y le preguntaste al usuario si le gusta? si lo usara. pero verdaderamente formulada con entrevistas, y encuestas. 2 por q seguir tendencias. 3 el diseño, es negocio, no formitas..

this was a great highlight video. it’s a shame the algorithm didn’t pick it up because it was a fun, informational watch

MJ is an excellent generator of ideas and enhancer of imagination. Here, I would stop with additional conclusions.

nice story😮😮😊😊

The lattice chair was hot.🔥

great video, love your vibe talking through these styles lol. what modeling program are you using here? or maybe just a viewer on your ipad for the video

This was very informative and helpful. Thank You.

"promo sm"

What is the software displayed in 3D in the video? It looks so cool!

I would not particular use the heavy approach but more the thick design approach and Material Composition of Metal and co. Other than that a premium analysis! Thanks

[5:38] The sketch to image and line to image control net feature works really well for this stage of the design process. You could've grabbed your sketch from the previous section, then use the text prompt to specify the 70's design style, colour palette, matt finish etc. Training your own model is a lot of work and really just there to cut down the prompting for when you want to make loads of a very similar image. The images shown in [5:50] are not similar enough for the AI to know enough about what the AI should look like. I trained a model for some fashion design images and I had the subject and background the same for every image, so for my prompt I just change what the model is wearing and it works well in that way.

Cool designs, thanks for sharing! What’s the brand of your blue microphone? Like it 😊

I really hope it doesnt effect in a bad way on the industry for us

What you share is very interesting 👌 Thank you!

That coffee grinder turned out freaking gorgeous 👍

Great video 👍 just discovered your channel! What rendering program do you use on your iPad? Looks quite smooth when switching angles

I think this is a great video. I also work as a product designer and innovation developer at spicedfuture. And I notice that less and less value is being placed on sustainability. We once commissioned a survey ourselves, and people really don't attach much importance to sustainability anymore. We get a good 5-10 inquiries a day from companies all over the world about product development, as we have worked for many well-known companies in the past and they have passed this on. But all of our employees in the company are increasingly noticing. That sustainability is now the last priority when it comes to developing new products. That was different for a very long time. The most important thing for companies is that we incorporate innovations and that the product has to be extremely cheap to produce. In other words, all the tools that are needed, such as injection molding machines, etc. This is extremely important to the customers. prices seem to have risen a lot everywhere. Product development is becoming more and more expensive because all the materials have become much more expensive.

Can I get a link to the paper?

This is a great video to describe all the stages in a product’s lifecycle and potential options for improvement at each stage. However, it’s missing an evidence based approach to identify what the most damaging lifecycle stages or processes are, and a methodical approach to tackle them. As designers our time is limited and intuition flawed. One common example of this is focusing a lot of time on transport, trying to minimise the supply chain distance when it might only make up 5% of your total emissions, or making design decisions that actively make the product worse from a sustainability perspective (using mineral and energy intensive metals over comparatively low carbon plastics, even though there's no intention to recycle) The current best way to not fall in those holes (outside of not designing it at all) is to conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) to identify the most impactful life cycle stages, processes or materials based on an initial design or an existing baseline. After that initial LCA, we can start making tweaks to our design and lifecycle to see if improvements are made. For instance we may find electricity during use is the most damaging bit, so you’d likely avoid wireless charging entirely or use a custom coil to improve transfer efficiency (as opposed to an OEM coil, unoptimised for our design and materials) You’ll find the impact changes of each iteration are quite nuanced, with an improvement in one area resulting in another area worsening (e.g plastic is more harmful than cork when put in landfill, but likely uses far less land and water to make it). There are models to help you "weight" how important these impact categories are (the main one being ReCiPe). Ultimately, we still have to use our judgement on those weightings, but at least there's more backing to it

hi! can you talk about the manufacturing process, prototyping, looking for suppliers, etc.? :3

I have brought a lot of hardware products to life and have been deeply involved in manufacturing and sourcing. here are a few thoughts that come to my mind: 1. aluminum is extremely energy intensive to produce and while some countries use hydro power to feed the smelters, hydro is green but unscalable so i would consider aluminum not very environmental overall 2. the lower half of the enclosure would likely need to be milled on a CNC machine which would leave a lot of waste material. recycling the leftovers would suffer from #1. Overall, I think it would be better to use recycled/reclaimed fishnets, biodegradable injection moulded plastics or even wood. there are some emerging bioplastics made from fungi and recycled rabbits or something like that. I feel these would deserve a video of their own 3. the nuts glued in the cork are a bit against the philosophy of easily separable materials, but I don't really have a better suggestion aside from switching to a different material 4. probably also make sure that the product would even work and work efficiently. you seem to add a thick cork layer between the coil and the phone. wireless power losses over distance are quadratic or something like that. if your design even worked, the power efficiency might be like units of percent

A wireless charger is incredibly energy inefficient and wasteful. Cool video though!

Your channel was just recommended to me. I study product design and this channel is a great informative past-time resource. I'm basically binging your channel though at this point haha. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I think the pacing in your videos is perfect and makes them even more enjoyable (or just plays a very big part). Keep going!

Everyone needs a little pop and a little bam in their life. 🧡

Hey, your content is super informative, and as a design student extremely inspiring, can I ask you what program you use for your 3D models on the Ipad, do you stream it via software or is there a specific program you use?

I really appreciate these points and I'll keep them in mind in the future. Thanks so much for taking the time to make something simple but also thought provoking like this !

These videos are like christmas morning for design nerds.

Nice content and video quality! a bit of topic, but what camera and mic are you using?

Thank you always for this great video!! I would really love to know what kind of app are you using on your ipad!!

Love your videos! I'm also learning so much from your sustainable material LinkedIn posts. Thank you for all this knowledge sharing! Keep it up Gray 👏👏👏

Nice video. My impact on the environment was one of my first thoughts when I started working as an Industrial Designer recently. It’s definitely something that randomly just pops in your head “am I the asshole??”

Cool video! But, choosing material requires more factors. For example wireless charger will generate heat and adding wood on top not only makes it hotter, but can put it on fire. Recycled plastics I see as more practical choice.

Thanks for your great video✌🏻🔥😍

I don't usually comment, but it was super useful, clear and concise! thank u !

Excellent! I wonder if the Boucle and the Deep Textures are a sensory antidote to thumbing glass all day.

What’s that rendering software at 1:57?

I was looking for good prompt ideas to generate pictures of a home camera I'm designing, and your video is the first that pops up :D

Choppy bike ;)

Is app is that? In the Ipad for rendering in 3D

4:13 does this have to be a midjourney image or can you combine two pictures for example a can of coke with a can of pepsi?
