The panel discussed a variety of ideas from resource sharing to product life cycles, as well as different feedback mechanisms that can guide sustainable everyday behavior. They also fleshed out a new vision of electric cars as a kind of gadget and mobile battery, exploring how our relationship to cars is changing as they become a mobile infrastructure and more of a service rather than a product.

Good Ideas Salons are where forward-thinkers come together to share ideas to make things better, whether that’s better work, better play or a better world. Drawing from a range of industries, Good Ideas Salons bring together people with a focus on lateral thinking, the desire to showcase their knowledge, and the wish to renew existing relationships with likeminded peers as well as forge new ones.

On October 20, PSFK and Nissan will host a Good Ideas Salon in Tokyo. For the event, Piers Fawkes (PSFK) will moderate a conversation on “Pure Living” with two panels of distinguished guests.

We’ll explore perspectives on pure living and how it is currently manifesting itself in design, technology, urban living, and transportation.
