We partnered with TAKK, a minimalist, essentials-only beauty care brand, to explore four inspiring, sustainable future visions for the beauty industry—and to link these futures directly to present-day actions. By applying a Transition Design approach, we co-created a bold new narrative positioning TAKK as a catalyst for systemic change.

"The Futures We Create" is a collaborative project led by Andrea Gilly, Savannah Vize, and Sara D’Angelo, strengthening the public’s ability to be reflective, critical and hopeful about the future, via the support of creative and imagination practices. Funded by Taike, the project began in 2023 and continued until Autumn 2024.

How can we understand and experience something which doesn’t exist yet? We’re excited to present our newly developed menu for Futures Prototyping

We recently completed a project with Fingo where we applied Transition Design methods and tools to reimagine the international development sector and to hold discussions on emotionally charged topics. We were joined by participants from the Finnish NGO sector, East and West Africa, and artists.

This workshop, funded by the CIPC, looks to reimagining our relationships with forests through language by uncovering and creating new narratives and language to foster a deeper understanding of these invaluable ecosystems. The project hopes to spark tangible changes in our imagination, behaviours and attitudes towards nature, through collaboratively sharing stories and developing new words.

This workshop is free to join.

Join our pilot workshop to explore our new method on the power of language for sustainability. In this workshop, we will investigate previously unnamed collective entities and experiences, and playfully co-create new words to describe them. Our intention is to change the way we relate to nature, especially forests.

The workshop is free to join.

At this year’s Sustainability Research + Innovation / Sustainability Science Days conference, we tested a new workshop format in collaboration with Safer Climate Network. The workshop was designed to provide a shared space to explore hospicing of the dying systems related to sustainability issues, and the process of change required in many industries to move away from harmful practices.

We facilitated a playful half-day event for Helsinki-based independent cinema Riviera, as part of their wellbeing day. We employed techniques inspired by authentic relating and improvisational theatre to create an enjoyable and fun experience and help team members enhance their sense of connection and team spirit.

In the first of a three-part series about making the future visible, we share an inspiring conversation we had with Susa Eräranta about the fascinating work she's been doing at the City of Helsinki Climate Unit around imagining a post-carbon future for Helsinki 🔮

Tune up to Zeynep Falay von Flittner’s presentation about collaboration, a plurality of voices, and a systemic approach - and how design/designers can play a part in bringing these all together in Sitra’s Heräämö event.

Through foraging, we can foster an environment of curiosity and reciprocity, helping us to find new ways of working and learning together.

In mid-April 2023 we shared a transformative three days with an inspirational group of people at our first Embodied Transition Design retreat. As an openly experimental space, the intention was to reconned sustainability actors with each other and themselves.
