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 work- shops. Babylandia is a public cofounded project for the promotion of excellence in in- dustrial districts of Lombardy region. The goal of the project is to prototype and evalu- ate children’s products for home and collective spaces with the involvement of both university and local companies.
