Abstract

Enabling artefacts are mixes of products and services designed to empower indi-viduals by making everyday tasks accessible to all, regardless of physical, cognitive, or sensory abilities. These artefacts foster independence, social equity, and sustain-ability through long-term usability and reduced waste. Inclusive design, with user participation at its core of the generation of synergies between tangible outcomes (products) and intangible architectures (services), to ensure that these can meet real needs. By merging inclusivity and sustainability, these designs help create a more equitable, resilient, and environmentally conscious future and introduce inno-vative perspectives for designers to act systemically.
