#circular design

Welcome to the "Circular Logic" patio of 1979, where the masonry is ambitious and the vibes are strictly high-neckline and lukewarm tea. There is something deeply hypnotic about this concentric brickwork; I’m not sure if they’re having lunch or being slowly summoned into a suburban vortex. It’s the ultimate flex of the 70s era: why have a square backyard when you can live inside a giant, earthen target?

A circular meditation on time and repetition.

Inspired by a Gintama episode that lingered long after it ended — this piece visualises the quiet inevitability of motion, even in stillness.

Designed in Illustrator and refined in Photoshop, it reflects on how life continues to loop forward, no matter where we stand.

Circular design for food refers to the practice of creating food products in ways that help to actively regenerate landscapes. By prioritising regeneratively-grown lower impact, diverse and upcycled ingredients, more nutrients can be cycled between people and earth. Focusing on design means waste can be headed off at source, saving valuable energy and resources. This is all the more needed when you consider that the food industry currently generates one third of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Now we can see how that theory looks in practice. The Challenge has delivered some inspiring examples of food companies expanding their food design horizons, offering ways to futureproof supplies in tandem with producing better outcomes for nature.

Kenya-based Dunia Bora creates drinks and biscuits from cactus that would otherwise become a nuisance for farmers and their grazing livestock. Founder Vincent Muhoro has worked in close collaboration with his cactus suppliers from the outset, showing them how the use of regenerative production methods can help them mitigate the effects of extreme weather events.

Hemp is another hard-working ingredient suited to a more volatile climate. It sucks more CO2 out of the air per hectare than trees, and is naturally disease and pest-resistant, reducing the need for chemicals in its production. It’s also a fast-grower, making it a relatively low-risk crop to cultivate. Great news for farmers and procurement teams.

Bandit Goa passionately adheres to the circular economy model, with a distinct focus on repurposing, restoring, and reusing. Their initial foray into sustainable fashion unveiled a unique range of upcycled bags, crafted from discarded tarpaulin and seat belts salvaged from aircrafts. This first collection showcased the studio's commitment to transforming waste into functional art, with backpacks, sling bags, laptop sleeves, fanny packs & more.
