WHAT DESIGN CAN DO: UNROLL & GO

A multi-functional fabric that transforms into five different products to help refugees on their journeys.

CHALLENGE: The contemporary refugee crisis had displaced over 65 million people. How could we help solve the problem and ease their burden?

INSIGHT: Good design is about minimalism and sustainability. If refugees designed their own survival kit, it would contain everything they'd need.

IDEA: Create a multi-purpose product that can be carried anywhere with ease. Enter the Unroll & Go.

 

Raincoat, baby-carrier, backpack, hammock, and partition. Five different functions, all rolled into one.

 

Our product was displayed alongside the Flag For Refugee Nation, which won multiple international awards.

 

The Unroll & Go helps mothers carry their babies during long treks.

 

Getting some love from visitors at Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum.
