The linear economy gave us products designed to be thrown away every two years. What we lost: the possibility of attachment.
Imagine making baseball gloves this way. Or violins.
The Companion Device is the consumer-electronics object we will make in the Circular Century.
Imagine Apple + Patek Philippe.
Product-as-event, and platform-as-covenant.

“Throughout history, societies have repeatedly faced the collapse of systems without a clear successor in sight. The fall of feudalism didn’t come with a detailed blueprint for industrial capitalism. It simply came with the undeniable realization that the old way was no longer viable.
Our collective obsession with control keeps us shackled to systems that harm us.”

Malmö Järnhandel is a small independent iron monger that has been in the city center for the last fifteen years. The store was known for its "tool pool", you can go there to borrow any kind of power tool for free! The owners are retiring and have put the shop up for sale. A group is now raising funds to take it over run it as a co-operative to make sure this type of store and the tool pool can remain part of the community!
