EXHIBIT: Design for the Other 90%
Posted on 14. Jan, 2009 by Charles Tsai in E-Inspiration, Environment, Opportunities, Tech-Inspiration, Technology
While the developed world obsesses over gadgets like the iPhone or Wii, the rest of the planet struggles daily for food, clean water, and shelter.
Who’s designing for this “other 90%”? A lot of creative minds, apparently.
Design for the Other 90% is an exhibit that pays homage to ingenious solutions for the developing world. Here are just some examples:
Big Boda is a bike capable of carrying hundreds of pounds of cargo.
Q Drum is a durable container designed to roll easily.
PermaNet is a long-lasting, insecticide-treated mosquito net.
The exhibit can be viewed in person if you’re in Toronto, Canada or Atlanta, USA. Or you can view it online at the exhibit’s website.
