Considering that sustainability can completely modify the design practice, we raise the questions: how the role of
design for sustainability transitions change the current design praxis? What would be the role of design in a sufficient
consumption scenario? We so attempt to review academic papers about sufficient consumption and design for
sustainability transitions to understand the role of design and identify the praxis emphases and gaps. We searched for
international peer-reviewed articles published in the last ten years throughout a systematic review, carried out in the
Portal de Periódicos da Capes database using two search strings: “sufficient consumption” AND design; sustainability
AND transition* AND design. We identified 25 articles that show this is an area of research still recent. However,
while it´s necessary to develop better the sufficient consumption concept, there already are research projects working
empirically in the design for sustainability transitions field.
