Circular Design

Circularity describes a system that aims to eliminate waste and maximize the reuse of resources by designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use and regenerating natural systems. In a circular economic framing, we seek to prolong the lifetime of both resources and products in a system with minimal environmental impact, this means designing for easy repair, reuse and recycling. In 2020/21 Viking, has been granted DIP funding from Design og arkitektur Norge – DOGA to develop prototypes of circular children’s shoes together with sustainability agency Reform Projects.
