The "Sustainable Design - 100 French Projects" inspiration trend books.
Produced by FRENCH DESIGN by VIA curated by Carolina Tinoco and Nathalie Tinlind. They are digital, and interactive, and aim to offer food for thought to designers, editors, and manufacturers in search of sustainable transformation.
These 5 Thematic Notebooks provide concrete answers, through 100 French projects representative of different paths towards Sustainable Design...
The five themes bring together current issues and innovations:
"New models" present projects that fall under the circular economy, mutualization and open source, or the social and solidarity economy
"Innovative processes" deals with eco-innovative materials, alternative techniques and new technologies
"Conquest of territories" evokes the industrial reconquest, short circuits, know-how inherited from tradition, and the links between contemporary creation and crafts
"Creative Visions" is a walk through the aesthetics of life and biomimicry, in R&D or desirable frugality
Finally, "Usages d'avenir" outlines new relationships to objects, from rental and leasing to new regenerative experiences that challenge our ecological awareness and involvement.
This work is the result of two years of a prospective study, interviews, interviews, expert contributions, elaboration of prospective scenarios, research of success stories, and multidisciplinary and international experiments, to imagine a cycle of eco-responsible production-consumption that re-enchants daily life by giving it back meaning.

NOUVELLES VIES 2
Paris, 2017-2018
In order to introduce reuse (upcyclying) as an everyday practice for creatives, Carola teamed up with Villette Makerz Fablab and La Réserve des Arts to launch the competition and sales exhibition called “Nouvelles Vies 2”. This competition was destined towards emerging designers and artists that wanted to experiment with secondary resources as primary material, combining new technologies offered at the Fablab with artisanal skills.

ECODAR3
Caracas, 2008-2012
Carola was Founder and Director of ECODAR3, a creative consultant civil association promoted design and art with reusable and recyclable materials. through the comprehension and application of the 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). This civil association -pioneer in its area- raised awareness, reinforced education and developed projects, programs and products with social and environmental responsibility. ECODAR included an “Ecolab”, which was an experimental laboratory for events , workshops and talks, covering all aspects of recycling and reuse of various materials, from food itself to eco-friendly architecture. This became a window in which artists, designers and architects could display their works and share their knowledge.

In 2009 , Ecodar 3 proposed to transform the Festival “Por el medio de la calle” (more than 5000 visitors) into a No waste event. Ecodar 3 proposed an organized system of collection and recycling of waste that was generated in this event. The proposal included the placement of collection points or ecological urban nodes with ecolounges to create awareness, education as well as transforming the “unpleasant” activity of throwing away your garbage into a useful and playful experience.
