Felissimo and UNESCO Launch Social Design Network

DESIGN 21: Social Design Network

Partnered by UNESCO, DESIGN 21: Social Design Network is a new online community dedicated to addressing global social concerns. The Network is where members of the design community, socially conscious individuals, local governments, businesses and non-profit organizations (NPOs) can address social concerns and create smart solutions through design. It is a place where like-minded people can connect to share resources, inspire each other and take action.

The Allumonde ring is the symbol of the Social Design Network and was designed by renowned Dutch Designer Richard Hutten. 21% of the proceeds are donated - 19% to the charity or non-profit organization of the members choice and 2% to UNESCO.

Anyone around the world can become a member of the network and basic membership is free. Visit www.design21sdn.com to explore our exciting, new community!
