common ground

​Three days where biology, material and making meet

​For one weekend, three biodesign practices are opening up a shared space to show what we’ve been growing, brewing and building. Some of it is finished, and some is still in the lab.

​Arwin creates premium footwear that merges flora with modern bioengineering. The aim is to reduce our reliance on animals, plastic and fossil fuels.

​Low Tide Labs makes regenerative skincare from algae. We grow our ingredients close to home, and every step is designed to repair the environment rather than take from it.

​Olfactory Echoes is Lucrezia’s PhD research into smell and climate. As climate change threatens the scents of places and traditions, she is creating and archiving evocative, microbe-based scents to preserve that olfactory heritage.

​You don’t need to know anything about science or design to come. Smell the archive, handle the shoes, try the skincare, ask us anything, or just hang out.
