The Future is Frugal

Written by

The Frugal Design Studio at Srishti has been working for the last 8 years to explore the future of design through the
lens of frugality. In a consumerist world where resources are being recklessly used up, the natural environment is being
degraded daily, it seems that there is not much choice – one definite path to the future is going to be frugal. This
position paper explores and unpacks frugality as it can be applied to design. The paper attempts to understand frugality
in the context of history of craft and design, everyday practices in India that are slowly disappearing, reasons
why it is not subscribed to, projects done by the Frugal Design Studio and how it could be applied in the future.

Authors: Naga Nandini Dasgupta and Sudipto Dasgupta
