We are very happy to be halfway through the Euclid project, thanks to Friend CCI, Euro Clusters founded by the European Union.
Euclid is a digital platform with the objective of mentoring, supporting and providing design culture to SMEs in the furniture art and craft design sector to apply circular design strategies required by the ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation).

The digital platform is characterised by a qualitative assessment path divided into four main phases of furniture product life cycle. For each phase, the SME is assisted to indicate the environmental characteristics of product design to be realised (or already realised), in terms of qualitative KPIs:
– choice of materials,
– production process,
– use,
– end of life.

During the evaluation phase, supporting and in-depth information is provided for each KPI to help SMEs learn and acquire know-how about circular design.
Euclid is intended to be a tool to help creative and craft furniture SMEs to:
– acquire knowledge about the environmental characteristics of materials and products,
– begin a step-by-step approach towards the design of circular products,
– apply resource-efficient strategies for materials and processes,
– become more competitive internationally.
We carried out several tests with some SMEs in the furniture industry, which gave us positive feedback suggestions for improvement.

Euclid’s project is developed by Matrec, Zakaria Khalfaoui Studio, Scatolificio SMS e Ironda.
We will keep you updated on the next steps.
