United Matters presentation for the UAL Alumni sustainability event
United Matters was invited to speak at the UAL Alumni sustainability network event. Me and another member of the collective went as representatives of the collective to give a presentation on our recent exhibitions at Dutch Design Week and London Design Festival. The event had in excess of 150 attendees and was rounded off with a half hour Q&A.
Exhibited at Craft Sustained - The HUB in Sleaford
I was honoured to be invited to show three separate projects at the Craft Sustained exhibition in Sleaford. The work was on show for 3 months and garnered over 8000 visitors. It was a privilege to be shown alongside such an amazing collection of other designers, each producing some truly inspirational work. My contributions included Polyhide, samples from Compost Atelier and a first look at some test tiles of Monera Wood.

To coincide with COP26 five designers have taken over the gallery to present innovative and sustainable new designs including natural dyes created using microbes, batteries powered by soil and a sink that channels wastewater to grow edible plants. The kind of thinking we need in the world right now. Until 13 November.
