10 sustainable Christmas gifts for architects and designers

|

Giving something to an architect or a designer is not easy. Pickiness, extensive knowledge of brands, minds sensitive to ecology and eco-sustainability, demands on ergonomics, materials, design and much more. A gift for a designer is also a way to discover new companies and new products. Certainly the gift must stimulate creativity, maybe help productivity, improve the functionality of a space or optimize the time in carrying out an action. Trying to meet the needs of those who are looking for gift ideas for architects, designers and planners of all kinds, I have prepared a list of eco-sustainable products, made with recycled and recyclable materials, attentive to the health of the world. A green gift is good for those who receive it and for the rest of the planet. Let’s start with sustainable gifts for Christmas 2021.
