In association with the exhibition Sustain me: contemporary design, New Zealand designer David Trubridge addresses how ecodesign (however worthy) is not enough unless it also addresses some form of cultural/spiritual nourishment. Says Trubridge: “Design is looking for new meaning and relevance. In the past all cultures were defined and expressed by their artifacts and art… we too could find cultural and spiritual nourishment from long lasting objects and this may reduce the never-fulfilled craving for consumer goods.”
