| Summary: | Abstract This paper presents an approach to understanding green aesthetics in clothing and design-for-sustainability that unifies existing theories and describes aspects of green aesthetics. The aim of this paper is to define the dimensions of aesthetic perception in design and commodities, and while doing so the focus is on green aesthetics in clothing. Hence the approach is made on the basis of aesthetic discourse yet with a multidisciplinary view. On the basis of this paper parallels between green aesthetics in design objects and the definition of design-for-sustainability can be drawn, merging aesthetic attributes with environmental values. |
