Branching out to mainstream consumers, the Sierra Club has teamed up with the Parsons Design Lab to develop collections of dinnerware and glassware. The Parsons students were inspired by the Sierra Club’s mission of environmental protection and preservation, and designed patterns through an examination of natural elements and textures. Simple, clean, and modern, the collections evoke an abstract reference to the purity of nature.
The Sierra Club is currently exploring potential partnerships with manufacturers to market and sell the collections. Having teamed up with other non-profit organizations and corporations for product development in the past, the Design Lab teaches students real world design and business strategies.
Whenever I see cool things here I want them to be available NOW!
*sigh*
Patience is a virtue…
I’ve been waiting for some dinnerware to become available that is both creative and simple for a few years. The blue and white set is what I would love to have on my table at mealtime. And I will wait for it!
