Investigating the possibilities of designing, improving, and creatively using materials for more sustainable design practices.
ABOUT THE LAB
The Material Innovation and Sustainability Lab is dedicated to the study and development of materials for Design with strong awareness in sustainability. We improve upon existing materials, and sometimes design new materials, to match design and product’s requirements. The lab also studies other design-related applications that may require new and innovative use of materials. Our use of materials, as well as our design processes, are driven by our belief in sustainability concepts.
