SOLFEM makes designs about fundamental topics. But what does fundamental mean? We see this as a broad term, with several categories. Below you can see which ones these are.
These categories are not exclusive of each other: often fundamental topics can fit into multiple descriptions. There is also no ranking between the different categories; all are seen as equally relevant.
Sleeping, eating and habits
Some things we do every day. We do them out of necessity to survive, but also because we are just used to doing them. They are not necessarily world changing, but they do take up a lot of our time and energy.
Elections, holidays and seasons
The future cannot be predicted, but there are phenomena that occur regularly. Traditions and rituals often play an important role and the events are similar in nature throughout the years.
Climate change, photosynthesis and evolution
Universe, the cycle of life, and the weather
Religion, family and education
No two people are alike, but as species we also share many similarities. Our cultures contain shared values and activities that are important for many.
Natural resources, Apple and the internet
The distribution of scarce resources is a dominant process in the world. Companies, services and products with high financial value dictate choices we make.
Oxygen, energy and food
The presence of life is something that makes the world special. Without certain essential elements, our existence would be impossible.
