Surviving the Ordinary
Speculative design, product design
2024
A speculative glimpse into everyday life under climate change — where resilience feels ordinary, and survival is quietly designed into the mundane. This project explored four possible futures around food security, developed through speculative and critical design. Drawing on research and guest lecturers, the scenarios examined both optimistic and unsettling trajectories of a world warming by 1.5–3°C. My contribution, Surviving the Ordinary, proposed that the future may not feel as dramatic as we imagine. Climate change is already visible, yet many remain unfazed. This ordinariness was expressed through artefacts: a home mycelium farm for food scarcity, spill-proof fermenting jars, one-handed cutlery for digitally absorbed societies, and a mood-regulating lollipop to suppress hunger. Developed in collaboration with Vinnova and WWF, the project culminated in the travelling exhibition Degrees
