Localised Technologies

This light switch questions the multinational ingredient list in many of today’s technological products. By incorporating locally sourced naturally conductive materials, reducing the extensive ingredient list to a select few, as well as replacing the exhaustive mining of metals with natural circular material streams.  

The Every day Object

This is the perfect example of an everyday object that goes unnoticed but plays a key role within our homes. This light switch enjoys people's company and interactions, but if it is switched on for a period of time without anyone present, it will become upset as it has been forgotten about.  

The light switch will send a signal to alert the user that it has been left unnoticed and wasting energy, creating a reminder that we must always be aware of the everyday habits that have the potential to manage our energy consumption.
