Living in harmony with nature is essential to who we are and what we do. This discussion explores emerging bio-based materials, those that can be composted at end of life, and upcycled materials (especially materials that can be recycled continuously). They will discuss the material applications and how we embed them in and throughout our work in precincts, buildings, particularly retail and products for the twenty-first century.
This event is proudly co-presented by Atelier and Collectivity Talks as part of Material Matters 02.
This discussion is part of the exhibition Material Matters 02 that emerged from Atelier’s artisan-in-residence program, which illustrates a future where sustainability is at the forefront of design and artisanal innovation for future retail environments. Atelier is an initiative of BETA by STH BNK, which seeks to deliver a revolutionary retail space for the betterment of the planet and society.
The event is supported by Laminex, Acoufelt, Communications Collective, Nexus Designs, Atelier, STHBNK By Beulah.
