Award Best sustainable product

During the Socrates Intensive Programme 2010 ‘Green Products trough a Multicoloured Approach’ my international team and Iwon the price for Best sustainable product. It was our project NOVA that we made as an assignment for Philips.


The assignment was to create a product out of old LCD or CRT Screens, while tackling this assignment we decided more was needed then just making a product out of old screens.


We wanted to create a complete proces too, meaning that we wanted to inspire Philips to collect and disassemble their own TV's because the raw materials are just rising in price. So we offered Philips a complete businessplan.


And also some techniques how to make a tv more design for disassembly.


Altough we wanted to work on those 3 levels we decided to focus a lill bit more on the product.
We wanted to create a low impact product, so sustainable as possible.


Using a simple click system we were able to create Nova by using only one production proces.
This makes the product very easy and quickly to produce so it is very economical.

The product can be flatpacked, so it has a low impact in distribution and transport.


Nova is as well a hanging as a standing light.
