(Archive) Design for a Heavy Future

Post-Nuclear Design

This project was part of DDW 2023

We unfortunately live in a time in which nuclear war is still a threat. Design for a heavy future exists of normal everyday objects redesigned in a way so they can still aid us during the events of nuclear war. Evoking open conversations while trying to solve an unsolvable problem.

Design For a Heavy Future is a series consisting of 3 objects that emerged from an investigation into the consequences of nuclear war. The reason for this research was the nuclear threat of Putin one year ago. Such a threat was unprecedented for my generation, and this caused quite a stir at the time. Today we still live with the same threat, although we seem to have almost become accustomed to it.

Continuing my research, I began adapting contemporary objects to help people prepare for nuclear war, with the aim of keeping our normal lives as normal as possible. An umbrella against the black rain, a pram for a walk through the park and a pop-up tent to take to festivals. All made of lead, so that we can continue to do what we are already doing.

The purpose of these cynical, non-functioning solutions is to generate an open conversation about these threats with a sense of dark humor.
