STUDENT C
1990–1999
During the 1990s, many designers worried about
the damage to the environment caused by
industrialisation. They were especially worried
about the rapid use of energy sources and raw
materials. They wanted to find ways of slowing
this down. These ideas influenced design in
many areas. For example, solar-powered cars and
electric cars were developed. The recycling of
paper and other materials became popular, for
example in designer Jane Atfield’s plastic
shelving unit. The material she used came from
old washing-up liquid bottles. Designers created
more energy-saving products and products which
consumers could repair or recycle. The focus was
on product durability. Another big influence on
design was advances in communication, in
particular the internet and mobile
phone technology.
One product that connects the two big concerns
of designers in the 1990s was Trevor Baylis’
wind-up radio, launched in 1995. This product
was particularly useful in Africa because it could
work without having expensive batteries. People
made the radio work by turning a handle to
generate the power.
