S1 E8: Tackling Industrial Design and Regenerative Materials with PROWL

The Builder Circle · 10 Jul 2023 · 58m

What this episode covers

Lauryn Menard and Bailey Mishler, co-founders of PROWL studio, discuss integrating industrial design early in the product development cycle to bridge business, marketing, and engineering. They define regenerative materials, distinguishing between circular materials like recycled textile boards and bio-based options such as biofabrication and biosynthetics. The guests address the 15-25% cost markup of these materials, attributing it to scale rather than inherent expense, and advocate for a 'begin at the end' design philosophy to mitigate climate impact.

    IDology #10 - The difficulties of sustainability of industrial design

    Anita Rogoża and Mikołaj Wiewióra of the industrial design studio Mindsailors discuss the challenges of integrating sustainability into product design, covering strategies like serviceability, mono-materials, and reducing component counts. They analyze specific examples such as Brita filters, 3D printing for mass customization, and the regulatory push for USB-C, while contrasting linear and circular economy models. The conversation highlights the tension between consumer desire for cheap, perfect products and the engineering costs of sustainable design, concluding that shifting consumer habits is essential for systemic change.

    #012 Season 2: Robert Irwin - Senior Industrial Designer, Founder of LearnIndustrialDesign.com, Principal Sustainability Consultant at irwindesigned

    Robert Irwin, Senior Industrial Designer and founder of LearnIndustrialDesign.com, discusses his two decades of experience in sustainable design, ranging from biomimetic lawn dart redesigns to net-zero homes with $12 annual utility bills. He critiques current Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) tools for focusing too narrowly on CO2, arguing that they ignore critical health impacts like polyester microfibers and biodiversity loss. Irwin challenges designers to treat environmental criteria as primary requirements alongside cost, form, and function, emphasizing that 80% of a product's environmental impact is determined before the design documentation phase.

    100: Embodied Energy

    Dan Provost and Tom Gerhardt of Studio Neat reflect on the company's history, discussing the pivot from the failed Obi Kickstarter to their current focus on durable tools like the Mark 1 and the newly launched Mark 3 mechanical pencil. They analyze the strategic risks of building hardware dependent on Apple's ecosystem, such as MagSafe docks, and debate the sustainability of reusable mug programs versus single-use packaging. The episode also features a deep dive into the Apple Vision Pro, with Myke Hurley sharing his impressions of spatial computing, pass-through video quality, and the device's potential for content consumption versus productivity.

    158: Thinking Sustainability in Hardware Product Design

    Dave Duncan, Vice President of Sustainability at PTC, explains how startups can integrate sustainability into hardware design using software like Onshape and Creo. He emphasizes that 80% of a product's carbon footprint is determined at the design stage, urging founders to use embedded data on embodied carbon and recyclability early in the process rather than waiting for late-stage life cycle analysis. Duncan details how generative design for lightweighting and circular economy models, such as take-back programs, create competitive advantages in both B2B and B2C markets.

    102: Keen

    Tom Gerhardt and Dan Provost of Studio Neat discuss their Kickstarter campaign for Keen, a high-quality retractable utility knife made of stainless steel. They explain the design philosophy of creating a 'costly' rather than 'expensive' tool, focusing on durability, repairability, and the tactile satisfaction of the mechanism. The conversation covers the pricing strategy, the challenge of marketing a premium product to cold audiences via ads, and the importance of building brand trust to justify the $95+ price point.
