Possible criteria for a new design

✔ Does the product consist of materials that are digged out without oppression?

✔ Is it produced in a senseful, uninterrupted workflow?

✔ Has it multiple uses?

✔ Is it long-lasting?

✔ In which condition do you throw it away, and what happens then?

✔ Does it make the user dependent on central services or can it be used independently?

✔ Does it privilege the user or stimulates commonality?

✔ Is it freely choosable, or does it enforce additional purchases?
