Abstract

Within this project a design approach of 3 phases is created to guide designers in the redesign of an existing product for Repurpose: 1.Starting point: To find certain opportunities in the future by highlighting essential valuable aspects of the current product that could be maintained in future products. 2.Product Opportunity: The Designer is guided from evolved ‘valuable aspects’ towards 1 chosen product opportunity, by which the current product can be Repurposed. ‘Search Areas’:This phase aims to inspire how value of a current product can be extended towards the future. 3.Design for Change: Redesign product and parts for efficient and effective transition into the subsequent use-cycle.
