Teilen statt Besitzen
Der Kurs Prozessgestaltung beschäftigt sich mit der Gestaltung von Abläufen und Produktsystemen, die den Gebrauch von Produkten und Dienstleistungen bestimmen.
Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht das einzelne Produkt, sondern das Zusammenspiel von Produkt, Service, Nutzer:innen und System.
Unter dem Leitmotiv „Teilen statt Besitzen“ entwickeln die Studierenden Konzepte für Produkte, Dienstleistungen und Produktsysteme, die gemeinschaftliche Nutzung ermöglichen und langfristig sinnvoll organisieren.
Resultate
Die Arbeiten zeigen, wie durch Prozessgestaltung nachhaltige Alternativen zu klassischen Besitz- und Konsummodellen entstehen. Entworfen wurden:
Produkte ind Systeme für die gemeinsame Nutzung
Dienstleistungen, die Zugang statt Besitz ermöglichen
Systeme, die Teilen, Wiederverwenden und Reparieren fördern
Die Projekte machen sichtbar, dass nachhaltige Gestaltung vor allem dort entsteht, wo Prozesse bewusst entworfen und neu gedacht werden.
Accessibility vs. Ownership
The course Process Design focuses on the design of processes and product-systems that shape how products and services are used. Rather than concentrating on individual objects, the course addresses the relationships between products, services, users, and systems.
Under the guiding theme “Accessibility vs. Ownership,” students develop concepts for products, services, and product–service systems that enable shared use and organize it in meaningful, long-term ways.
Outcomes
The projects demonstrate how process design can create sustainable alternatives to traditional ownership and consumption models. The results include:
products and systems designed for shared use
services that provide access without ownership
systems that support sharing, reuse, and repair
The projects highlight that sustainable design emerges where processes are consciously designed and rethought.
“How might we design furniture that adapts to the changing needs of users in small or shared spaces?”
The Context:
Living in shared flats and compact city apartments means living in transition. While our lives are dynamic, traditional furniture remains static. We identified a gap between the rigid nature of current home furnishings and the mobile lifestyle of our generation.
The Solution: RE:SIZE BED, it is a modular sleeping system designed for effortless transitions. By utilizing a tool-free assembly process, it transforms moving from a burden into a seamless experience.
Built on the principles of the Circular Economy, RE:SIZE is modular, repairable, and fully ready for disassembly.
Need more space? Transitioning from a 90cm to a 160cm width is as simple as swapping the head and foot panels and extending the slat frame. Through our circular system, old components are returned, refurbished, and reintroduced into the cycle. Eliminating waste through adaptability.
We’ve streamlined the journey from digital to physical. Explore the system through our webshop, where you can customize your setup.
The Campus Hub: For maximum convenience and sustainability, you can pick up your RE:SIZE Bed directly from our on-campus Hub at the university.
Flexible Logistics: Not on campus? No problem. We also offer direct delivery straight to your doorstep.
