PART II: MATERIALS🔵

Sustainable materials often come with labels such as "80% recycled nylon, 20% secret binding substance". We're all about the magic spells, but there's no place for mystery in the way we think truly circular material designers should operate.

In the exhibition, we will expose product prototypes made out of old, new, repurposed, both natural and synthetic materials, so we can see the full scale of things and start the discussion on circularity from there.
