What if new things could be made from old things?  Then products wouldn’t just be products, they would be resources, material banks, a never ending stream of building blocks for the future. 

For this to be possible we need to design products that we can repair, renew and upgrade by making sure it's easy for every single piece to be repurposed or remanufactured and then, at the very end, recycled and not wasted. This creates a mindset of products living multiple lives, until one day they are needed somewhere else, by someone else as something else entirely…

By looking at the economic environment in which we live in today one can clearly conclude a change is needed, a shift in the way we conduct business. The linear model of take, make, waste needs to change to that of a circular one where we instead take, make and remake until we finally recycle it back to the earth from where it came. This is the essence of what CL Ståle stands for, to create sustainable products through the means of design.
