Hosted by the Design Council in Covent Garden, greengaged was certainly one of the highlights of this year’s festival; it examined the ecological imperatives, political and social drivers, and sustainable design strategies across disciplines from product design to graphics, service design to fashion. greengaged aims to galvanise designers to take up the sustainable challenge and will feature some of the most forward-thinking designers and innovators in their fields to engage the wider design industry in getting involved, becoming informed and sharing expertise and opinions.

greengaged has been developed and organised by [re]design, thomas.matthews and Kingston University with Arup and Three Trees Don’t Make A Forest in association with its host for 2008, the Design Council.
