Design Trust creates active long-term, intelligent and meaningful platforms to fund and advocate for the positive value of the process of design, debate and creative sharing. We support innovative, thought-provoking investigations in various design disciplines including, but not limited to, graphics, media, wearable technologies, architecture to the environment to actively accelerate creative research, design and development of meaningful projects that advocate for the positive role of design. After months of questioning, probing, researching and engaging, DESIGN TRUST is launching a micro-initiative, “DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade”, a rapid response to COVID-19 and our current context and to foster play, social well-being and sustainability through homemade objects. Through the initiative we hope to benefit the wider community at large and to build resilience and sustainability for our future.
