WE ARE REDESIGNING...
...our website. Meanwhile please read our blog and learn more about how we work with sustainable design, experiences and human behaviour.
MOVE was founded in 2007 and is headed by Jesper Pagh and Bo Borbye Pedersen.
We are occupied with how to create new solutions within healthcare, welfare and food, how to address future mobility challenges, how to deal with the enormous amounts of waste we produce and what role energy consumption and production play in all this. Our approach is driven by user involvement, research and knowledge and is characterised by visualisation, prototyping and the integration of strategic and human factors in the process.

Waste no more
On March 9 the Danish Competence Centre on Waste DAKOFA is hosting a conference on Cradle to Cradle for the waste industry and hopefully a lot of other interested people and companies, who has a bit more than rubbish on the top floor (to keep it in the cheesy jargon of the title).
The aim of the conference is to get the participating companies and organizations involved in starting the product and material chains it takes to implement a true Cradle to Cradle project. We are among the speakers and will be talking about Cradle to Cradle thinking from a design perspective, including motivations, barriers and our experiences in the field.
THE NEXT BIG THING
At the beginning of a new decade, a new year or any new era at all, it seems natural to look around and search for the next big thing to come. As designers we do this quite often – almost on a daily basis – by researching and observing people’s behaviour, their use of stuff and patterns in general, and therefore people often ask us about this. And as a lot of the people we work with have a tendency to like products and technology (or even have a business build upon one or both of these), they often ask things like ‘what new technologies are emerging?’ or ‘what kind of products will we see within the next (insert number) years?’. And though these questions are relevant, answering them alone will not provide the useful answer you really need.
Because the future of technology is convergence and the future of products is services.
The Rootless
Photographer Helga C. Theilgaard has made this great project looking at some of the people living in Denmark without the everyday comfort of a home to rest in. Today it is snowing pretty hard and it is difficult to imagine what it is like living your life on the streets. The project has resulted in a book and exhibition, the latter which we gave a helping hand in designing.
Happy 2010
We hope you had as many good times in 2009 as we did. Whether we worked together, talked or just danced, it would not have been the same without you.
Cool School
A couple of weeks ago I was invited by Universe Fonden to participate in a two-days workshop addressing future learning spaces. The workshop (which obviously took place at a public school) was hosted and moderated by Johan Galster from 2+1 and Mikkel Thomassen from Smith Innovation and was one of three parallel workshops. While others focused on learning styles and teaching, our focus was to develop a framework for the physical space to embrace the vision of future learning spaces (a.k.a. ’school’).
