Slow Design trend: Ulap's choice of sustainability

Discover the principles of good design according to Ulap.

THE FUTURE OF SLOW DESIGN IS NOW.

Today more than ever we need responsible people who inhabit our world with awareness, respect and confidence in the future. In the Ulap ecosystem, various dimensions coexist which, together, allow us to stimulate our community to embrace change and experience the world with awareness.

Ulap design is a slow design brand, eco-friendly and Made in Italy. At Ulap design we deal with designing and producing design objects that can offer experiences. By following a slow ethic, in fact, we are not only able to create unique and quality products by focusing on natural and environmentally friendly raw materials, but we focus on giving life to objects that bring with them the values ​​shared by those who purchase them . Each customer becomes part of the Ulap design community, choosing slow design products that become a concrete source of inspiration to stimulate change. At Ulap slow design translates into 3 main dynamics:

- responsible production

- objects as experiences

- natural raw materials

HERE ARE THE SLOW PRACTICES OF ULAP DESIGN

We follow the slow philosophy throughout the life cycle of our products, so as to guarantee full ethical compliance with the values ​​of Ulap design and the sustainability of the processes.

THE PRINCIPLES OF SLOW DESIGN ACCORDING TO ULAP

1/ UNVEIL - Slow design - through its products - reveals experiences in everyday life that are often lost or forgotten.

2/ EXPAND - Slow design invites us to go beyond the mere use of a product, favoring its expansion as a means for consumer growth and awareness.

3/ REFLECT - Slow design leads to contemplation and reflective/responsible consumption.

4/ ENGAGE - Slow design processes are collaborative, based on sharing, cooperation and transparency of information to ensure that creations can continue to evolve in the future.

5/ PARTICIPATE - Slow design encourages people to actively participate in the design process, embracing the idea of ​​conviviality and exchange useful for promoting social responsibility and the improvement of society.

6/ EVOLVE - Slow design recognizes that richer experiences can only arise from the dynamic maturation over time of artefacts, environments and systems. Looking beyond the current needs and circumstances of the present, slow design products are agents of change (even of behavior).

SLOW DESIGN BUILDS RELATIONSHIPS

Dialogue with the customer is fundamental for us.

Ulap brand products, since they follow the principles of slow design, are designed and conceived for an active customer experience.

- We always provide advice on the correct disposal of products.

- Our customer support service is available to suggest reuse ideas and advice for the correct (natural) maintenance of Ulap design products, as well as to provide suggestions for all phases of the product's life: from installation to disposal.

- In the instructions, we always illustrate how to correctly manage the end-of-life phase of an object (suggesting respecting the principle of circularity of nature, therefore preferring the reuse of components, recycling or disposal only as a last resort).

EVERY CUSTOMER IS UNIQUE

We give each customer the attention they deserve. When an item is ordered that is not available in stock (and is about to enter the production cycle), the customer begins to receive periodic updates on the life of his product. From photos of the raw wood, through images or mini-videos of the various production steps, up to packaging.

In this way customers enter the company, understand (and help us spread) the slow culture since we involve them in every step (not just during the mere act of purchasing).
