Design for Longer Life (CI Toaster)
The CI Toaster is a modular toaster designed for longevity.
We are living in a society where we demand bigger, better and more. As a
result of this demand and our consequent consumption, we are using 50% more
resources than our planet can provide. These statistics are even worse in the
developed world. If everyone lived like people in the UK, we would need three
planets to survive. If our patterns of consumption in the UK were repeated
around the world, by 2050 we would need an extra eight planets.
To solve this problem I designed a toaster which could be repaired rather than thrown away.
The Ci Toaster can be split into 3 modules, meaning if one part breaks it can simply be replaced.
