The Anthropocean Project

The Anthropocean project is a manifesto on the Anthropocene developed by Portuguese designer Eduardo Simões. Its collections compose series of causes and consequences of planetary changes, as well as other related topics in the form of surf equipment.

​

Climate changes are real and pose a serious threat to the biosphere as well as to the human geopolitical structure. 

This changes have origin in human activity, most significantly the burning of fossil fuels. It is safe to say that the last 200 years will go down in history as the fossil fuel era. The anthropocean collection become a methaphor and comtemporary fossil of this time period. Fossilized in plastic, seeds, trash, burned and shopped wood representing our industrial agriculture, pollution and deforestation respectively. 

The climate change crisis is the most challenging problem humanity has ever faced and in the optimistic scenario, we can manage to solve it and view this period as of very historical significance in the journey of the human species. The Anthropocean mission is to frame this era in all its facets through outdoor design equipment since it is a powerful link between human activity, design and the natural world we are currently destroying.
