Ori Orisun leads the way in bio-inclusive design by working with polymers derived from insects. On the other hand, Cru Atelier, an eco-responsible design lab, employs bio-sourced materials such as raw earth, hempcrete, and coffee grounds to create pieces that highlight the geological layers of our planet. Are you interested in discovering the latest trends in sustainable design and connecting with industry professionals? Renewal, a fair and exhibition dedicated to eco-design and founded by Duplex, aims to advance the circular economy by showcasing sustainable practices and innovation. Featuring 25 eco-designers, along with conferences and workshops, Renewal offers an ideal platform for exchanging ideas and discussing the future of design. 📍 The exhibition will take place at Reset, 8 rue de la ligne, Brussels.
