Project: STELLA - Digital Transformation of Swedish Furniture Industry through Advanced Digital Value Chains

In this project, we aim to refine a Digital Product Passport (DPP) ecosystem for the Swedish furniture industry, enhancing prototypes from the Append project into a robust blockchain-based system ensuring product traceability, integrity, and governance. Our efforts will explore advanced technologies to facilitate a transition to a circular economy, pinpoint innovative consumer value creation, and optimize resource-efficient supply chain practices.

More about the project

Key deliverables include:

  • Developing and maintaining an integrated DPP ecosystem.
  • Establishing interoperable digital value chains for seamless data integration, fostering collaboration.
  • Enhancing data traceability, product lifecycle management, and sustainable practices.

Utilizing design thinking and agile methodologies, we will engage in rapid prototyping and continuous refinement, potentially incorporating IoT devices for comprehensive value chain traceability. This initiative will bolster sustainability within the furniture sector, scale digital solutions across the industry, and support Sustainable Development Goals 12 and 13 for sustainable production and climate action. Project work packages cover requirement elicitation, system development, implementation, maintenance, and dissemination, with outcomes shared across national and EU platforms to amplify the project’s impact on digitalization and sustainability in the industry.

The project is part of the research in the Interaction Design Research Group the Data-driven Business Innovation (DBI) and in the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: Digital Transformations.
