Design HOPES were delighted to be included in the recent Design For Scotland ‘Lab’ at V&A Dundee. Design For Scotland is an innovative project seeking to explore how to develop a strategic and focused approach to supporting design nationally. It will do this by undertaking research and developing an engagement programme with partners and the design sector.

The planet is at a critical moment – as we all look to proactively address the climate crisis, the transition to net zero, as our public finances face ever-increasing challenges, and as we work to make the case for the critical role of creativity in a just and thriving society, Design For Scotland seeks to address these concerns in the context of a national design policy framework. We were pleased to be able to showcase some of our research and design as part of this broad and important discussion.
