はじめに
私たちは、プロのインダストリアルデザイナーがつくる社団法人日本インダストリアルデザイナー協会の会員です。インダストリアルデザイナーとはプロダクトデザイナーとも言いますが、新幹線、自動車、電気製品、日用品など、暮らしに必要な様々な量産製品をデザインするデザイナーのことです。
その協会で1997年に環境の研究会をつくり「デザイナーとして環境のためになにが出来るか」を探求してきました。
そのデザイナーたちが考えた環境のためのデザイン成果を、たくさんの皆様にお伝えしようと、2003年にここOZONEでプロのインダストリアルデザイナーが発想するエコデザイン展を初めて開催しました。
2004年からは、デザインを学ぶ学生から参加者を募りエコデザイン教室を開いています。その成果と合わせてプロのデザイナーと学生による「プロと卵のエコデザイン展」を開催して、今年で7回目になります。
今回も「未来への贈りもの」というテーマでたくさんのデザインアイデアを展示します。たくさんの皆さまに、ご覧いただければ幸いです。

テーマ
未来への贈りもの a gift for the future
20世紀は石炭や石油などの化石エネルギーをベースにした大量生産、大量消費、大量廃棄の時代でした。そのおかげで、様々な製品を安価にたくさん使うことが出来て、私たちは便利で豊かな暮らしを手に入れる事が出来ました。
しかしその反面、大量消費は大量廃棄にもつながって、大気汚染、公害、さらには地球の温暖化という現象を引き起こし、気象変動による被害や環境の悪化で多くの生物の絶滅を招いています。もはやこのままでは近未来はたち行かなくなるのではと考えられています。
今一度立ち止まり、本当に良いくらし、生き方とは何か？を考え、私たち自身が大きく変わらなければならない時がきているように思います。
自然と調和した持続可能で、誰もが安心安全に暮らせる未来をめざして、デザイナーとして、今なにができるのか？
次の世代につなぐ「未来への贈りもの」に想いを込めて、プロと卵が様々な視点でアイデアとデザインを提案いたします。

Foreword
We are members of the Japan Industrial Designers’ Association (JIDA), an organization made up of professional industrial designers. Sometimes referred to as ‘product designers’, industrial designers design all manner of mass-produced products that are an integral part of everyday life, such as shinkansen (‘bullet trains’), cars, electrical goods and other daily necessities.
In 1997, JIDA set up an environmental research committee and since then, we have been looking into the question of what designers can do for the environment.
With the idea of showing large numbers of people the environmentally-friendly designs that resulted from those designers’ efforts, the first eco-design exhibition was held in 2003 here at OZONE, showcasing designs created by professional industrial designers.
From 2004 onwards we have been running an eco design class, finding participants from among design students. With the resulting designs from that class, combined with those from professional designers, we have been putting on a “New ideas in eco design novice and professional concepts” exhibition, with this year being the seventh time it’s been held.
Once again this year, many design ideas are on display, based around the theme of “a gift for the future.” We very much hope that many people will come and see this exhibition.

Theme
“A gift for the future”
With a heavy reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and oil, the 20th century was a period of mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal. This has meant that we’re now able to use a wide variety of products at a reasonable price, and we can enjoy a lifestyle that’s both affluent and convenient.
The flip side of that, however, is that mass consumption also leads to mass disposal, causing air and environmental pollution, and even contributing to global warming. In addition, the twin perils of damage caused by climate change and environmental degradation are leading to the extinction of many living creatures. It’s thought that life in the near future will simply become unsustainable.
We feel that the time has come for us to stop for a moment, think about what “a good lifestyle” really means, and make some major changes to the way we do things.
With our sights set on a sustainable future in harmony with the environment, and in which everyone can live safely and with peace of mind, what can we, as designers, do right now?
Forming a link to the next generation and full of imagination, “A gift for the future” sees both professional and novice designers put forward ideas and designs from a variety of different perspectives.
