On the other hand, the domination of economic goals in craft production is threading the social system and the environment. Craft production facts do not represent the sustainable development principles that should be a central concept for this age. Design as practice and method had not yet correctly facilitated craft production to embrace the harmony of the social, environmental, and economic systems. Believing that studio is a core design practice, this research investigated studio practice through interviews, field research, and action research conducted in Indonesia and the US. It developed a model called Studio Practice for Sustainable (Craft) Production, the SP2 Model. The Model helps designers, the crafts community, and stakeholders ensure their role in the studio practice and determine their goals for sustainable development. The SP2 Model offers alternative practical solutions in craft production, contributes to polycentric discourse, and designs interventions in sustainable development models. Show less
