About this event

Join us to learn more about last year’s emerging trends and standout projects from the UK and beyond.

The climate crisis is close at hand, and the use of new sustainable materials has become a topic of growing and urgent conversation. In this session, we’ll discuss projects that look towards a circular economy.

Speakers

Seetal Solanki - Materials designer, researcher and author of Why Materials Matter: Responsible Design for a Better World. She is the Founder and Director of the materials research design studio Ma-tt-er. Seetal will provide insight into emerging trends in new materials and techniques.

Tom Meades - Future-thinking sustainable and circular designer, and green entrepreneur. Tom launched Gomi Design to prove that “non-recyclable” waste streams can be made desirable through strategic product design. They have launched two products on Kickstarter; including colourful speakers made from upcycled e-bike batteries.

There will be plenty of time for discussion and Q&A after the brief presentations.

About the series

Rewired is a free month-long digital programme that will introduce you to the creators behind some of the most innovative projects from 2020 and 2021, from the UK and beyond.
