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 Capesdatabase 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.
