The age of Low-Tech?

We know the song: the future of the planet depends on high technology. Behind this dogma, extremely widespread for some twenty years, hides a much crueller reality: every new technology has no other purpose than to compensate for the catastrophic consequences of previous technologies, with negative externalities very often overlooked, both in terms of energy and raw materials.

That is the thesis developed by Philippe Bihouix in the book "L'âge des Low-Tech", which urges the Western world to look for more rustic solutions. I invite you to buy it from your nearest bookshop.

Conveniently, La Boutique du Futur is an expert in single-material products and robust, common-sense solutions. For example the SavOsec, which follows to the letter this wise principle of effective simplicity. But really the whole range is a bit like that!
