The PLATE Exhibition (Product Lifetimes And The Environment) explores critical themes related to how long products last in contemporary society.
After the opening on June 16 from 6pm-8pm, the exhibition will run until June 19 and will feature household products, furniture, lighting, fashion, jewellery and artworks which embrace design for longevity, design for disassembly, repair and reuse, emotionally durable design, repurposing and upcycling, and the need to challenge planned obsolescence and the throwaway society.
It runs alongside the PLATE Conference at Nottingham Trent University (17–19 June), which is the first international conference to address product lifetimes in the context of sustainability.
