AGNES likes it better when you’re older.

I tweeted this last week, but I am still in love with the idea. The design world is seeing a huge burst in ‘service design’ (TASCI, Huddle, This Is Service Design Thinking) the new go to buzz word. But this development, I like. As the US population ages (with less births and longer lives), public spaces (and their design) needs to be rethought. The solution? AGNES. 

AGNES is a suit that the young and able can wear to catch a glimpse of how they will feel in another 40-60 years. I love this for so many reasons. It’s a great example of what design can do. MOAR OF THIS LESS CHAIRZ PLZ*.
