Sustainable Children’s Product Experience : University Collaboration with Italian Industry in Lombardy Region

This paper presents a design research called Babylandia aimed at applying human and environmental sustainability principles to support co-design processes and appraise how different scientific data can efficiently be communicated for design purposes. To this aim, we have developed our own set of tools and experimented them in 4 workshops. Babylandia is a public cofounded project for the promotion of excellence in industrial districts of Lombardy region. The goal of the project is to prototype and evaluate children’s products for home and collective spaces with the involvement of both university and local companies.
