Description
Summary:Based on the principles of Ecodesign and Slow Design, this paper seeks to propose an alternative for the use of industrial waste from the city of Cianorte/PR. For that, the designer Domingos Tótora´s production processes of using cellulose mass and fabric fiber were investigated and based on the Design Science Research method, the set of Companhia benches was developed. These, in addition to being produced according to Slow Design guidelines, also express the city's cultural identity in visual and tactile elements. Through the development of the set of benches, it was possible to observe how Ecodesign combined with slow design can contribute to sustainable design and to understand the peculiarities of the production process proposed by Domingos Tótora based on the experience of prototyping the Companhia benches.
