The collaboration between Vattenfall and Superuse has led to a remarkable project: the transformation of a wind turbine nacelle into a habitable tiny house. As one of the Creative Voices of Dutch Design Week, Benito Walker interviewed Thomas Hjort (Director of Innovation, Vattenfall) and Jos de Krieger (Designer/Architect, Superuse Studios and Blade–Made) to explore how these organisations have formed an inspiring example on how sustainability, in the form of circularity, can be practically applied.
In a society where the need for a green, sustainable (energy) transition is becoming increasingly visible, one thing becomes very clear: the collaboration between the energy company and design studio is more than a creative, innovative venture. It is a vision of how we can reuse industrial materials and give them a second life—an important blueprint for the future of the circular economy worldwide.
A New Step Towards Circularity
