this is not a drill
This toolkit acts as a practical framework designed to guide designers in creating meaningful product-service systems for shared products. It serves as an extension of the PSS toolkit, offering tools and techniques to address complex and interconnected design challenges in sharing. Developed as an open framework, it is adaptable to various contexts and allows for ongoing expansion and evolution. It is not fixed in time or context but remains flexible and dynamic.

The toolkit is fully 3D-printable, with STL files, templates, and theoretical materials available digitally. This ensures that the knowledge is globally accessible. As an open platform, it invites further development, collaboration, and feedback from its users.
“It is the role of the design community to design innovative concepts that further stimulate the social and sustainable features of the sharing economy. It is not enough to place old products in new business models. The goal should be to design new, innovative concepts to further develop the potential of a phenomenon like the sharing economy. How are these sharing product-services designed?”
