Top 10 Sustainable Design Ingredients
- Exhibition showcases that use no mains power from the building’s supply to light the internal art objects. These showcases can be positioned anywhere without the need for clumsy or inconvenient electrical connection points. A lot of research goes into making showcases aesthetically pleasing as well as maximising their environmentally friendly profile.
Museum and retail designs where the visitor flow provides a sustainable energy source that reduces the building’s carbon footprint and operating costs.
There is an increasing emphasis on the fact that exhibit stands need to be environmentally sustainable. We create exhibition stands that are ecologically sustainable and responsibly sourced, with recycled and low-toxic materials. It is also essential to consider the energy efficiency of the exhibition booth/area and any lighting or equipment used. We also provide designs that allow for simple stand-building adjustments. Instead of being destroyed after each event, this technique allows for reuse. By taking these steps, exhibition stands can be designed in ways that are aesthetically pleasing and sustainable.
We use installation contractors close to project sites (for example, with travelling exhibition design projects). Consequently, we are saving dramatically on the transport of materials and people. These little steps contribute to a reduced carbon footprint.
- Interior designs that use many principles above ensure products are from responsibly and fairly sourced suppliers. Sustainable interior design is a growing concept in the modern interior design sector. It evaluates both the aesthetics of the space and the environmental impact of the materials used. Sustainable interior design emphasises the use of natural materials and the reduction of energy consumption. Using long-lasting and straightforward materials to maintain is also critical, as this will help reduce the space’s environmental impact while still creating an exquisite and functional interior.
Focusing on recycled and low-toxic materials in exhibit construction is increasingly vital. These materials reduce waste and the carbon footprint of exhibitions, aligning with cost-conscious strategies without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Energy-efficient interior lighting and equipment enhance this sustainable approach, ensuring exhibits remain visually striking while being environmentally responsible.
- Eco-lighting design solutions that lower power consumption reduce heat gain and UV from light sources, with the added advantage of only having to re-lamp every 7 to 10 years. Using LEDs and natural light, museums can include eco-friendliness in their lighting design. Light sensors and timers can save even more electricity.
Graphic designers are to send all proofs via PDF in email format, avoiding using paper whenever possible. Furthermore, remove your contact information (we have implemented this ourselves … it works!) to avoid receiving unsolicited letters, posts, or samples. Naturally, any paper we use comes from sustainable resources.
Corporate design. We encourage our clients to opt for the greenest paper possible. Opting for chlorine-free (TFC) or tree-free paper like hemp is a great way to reduce our carbon footprint and protect our planet. We must strive to take responsibility and make conscious choices to minimise our environmental impact and pave the way for a better and greener tomorrow.
- Sustainable design solutions aim for designs that last beyond. Furthermore, they explore the environmental impact, plan sustainable designs with a smaller footprint, and use non-toxic materials.
Keep in mind that sustainable exhibition design is integral to modern museum practices. Implementing renewable energy sources, like solar panels and kinetic floors, minimises dependence on traditional power grids and showcases the potential for green technology in commercial environments. This shift, alongside the above eco-friendly tips, supports environmental goals and reflects a forward-thinking perspective in exhibit design.
Walk the Walk. We are continuously look for new sustainable museum methodologies, energy-saving measures, and renewable technology to implement within our designs.
