AYALA-GARCIA, Camilo y JANSSEN, Christiaan Job Nieman. Reproponer el cuero desde una perspectiva de diseño sostenible. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2024, n.126, pp.33-44. Epub 01-Ene-2024. ISSN 1853-3523. http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi126.4565.
The manufacturing of leather is considered one of the most polluting practices of the current industrial state. Exploration from different fields to create more sustainable alternatives are arising worldwide. In the Design field, this has also become a fundamental aspect of being considered while developing products. The following article aims to present a research methodology applied to a design course where designers are challenged to find more circular alternatives from a materials perspective. Designers are invited to work hand in hand with local artisans to exchange knowledge and propose a viable opportunity. Four projects are presented to understand the different approaches when design knowledge is combined with crafts knowledge. This exercise sets a scenario for product designers to understand how to search for alternatives to a highly demanded material desired by its properties and qualities but with a high environmental impact. By following this method, designers can find novel alternatives to products, and artisans can innovate in their production techniques to compete in the local markets.
