Aroop Ratan Guha

I am a trained furniture designer from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India and a master's in strategic design from the Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen. My PhD, titled ‘Circular Economy (CE) in the Danish furniture industry’ investigates the various aspects of CE that are instrumental in helping the Danish furniture industry transition to more circular ways of functioning. With market demands, governmental mandates and EU regulations as strong forces driving this transition, the aim of the project is to find key areas where there is a knowledge gap and, in the process, highlight methods to bridge those gaps.
