POSTS STORIES REELS

Issue 03 is live 🌟

We’ve been looking at what happens when we see nature as a designer.

A shark that never permanently loses a tooth. Wood that creates its own iridescent shimmer. Orange rinds transformed into leather.

Three stories exploring the future of materials, inspired by the living world.

Read Issue 03 at the link in bio!

Environmental innovation is important, because as we go about our daily lives our natural environment feels the impacts. This week, take note of items that you come in contact with..that do not break down (from your seamless orders single use food packaging to the plastic that is used to safely keep your organic veggies).
Being aware is the first step towards innovating new ways of production <3
