There are currently six generations coexisting in Western society. Each of them is influenced by its circumstances — social, political, economic, environmental, and technological — which have a direct impact on how people express themselves. One historical milestone, however, has changed how everyone behaves and even how our cognitive system is developed: the internet.
High levels of extractivism are leading to a future where materials of mineral, vegetable, and animal origin are scarce. But what if we immediately stopped extracting and producing raw materials? How long could we use our waste to produce everything we consume? Learn about the initiatives showing us what the products of the future may look like: designed to take full advantage of their raw material, able to return to the top of the production chain.
Companies that function without traditional leadership are on a continuous journey of individual and collective learning. The magic of self-managed environments is that they allow every employee to be the best version of themself through open interaction and collaboration. Self-management means everyone is free to reach their full potential — nobody empowers anybody else, because power already exists within each person.
In a world dominated by fake news, there is greater value in the things we know for sure. Today, desire is generated by honesty and transparency. Nobody is asking companies to be perfect; just trustworthy.

Local consumption is aligned with the three pillars of sustainable development: environmental, social, and economic.

This behavior has a positive impact on job creation and poverty reduction, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of communities.
More than a trend, it’s a matter of responsibility: the challenge of contemporary design is to maintain relevance in a saturated world.
