It was a real privilege to share the stage and some thoughts with these clever people last week about attracting media attention. Thank you New Designers for giving the next generation of designers a platform and to Hannah Payne for pulling together such a stellar talks line up over two weeks. Let's do it again soon Max Fraser Alice Finney Roddy Clarke!

‘The twentysomething designers changing the way we live at home’ So honoured to be featured in The Times alongside such talented designers. Visiting and taking part in New Designers has been important to me to create design community, something which helped me get my current role at Habitat. Thank you to everyone involved to make this piece happen 💚 amazing photo by Mark Cocksedge https://lnkd.in/ehKEzb-n

🎉 We are thrilled to announce Louis Jacques Wright as the winner of the Design Council Design for Planet Prize, presented at New Designers, for his groundbreaking project, 'Organic Opulence'! 🎉 'Organic Opulence' is a visionary project, redefining jewellery to blend aesthetics, functionality, and societal roles with environmental sustainability. This initiative breaks new ground by integrating living materials into costume jewellery, merging advanced technology with organic elements for a sustainable, slow design approach. Louis’s innovative use of slime mould as a biomaterial allows for customisable pieces that evolve with the wearer, emphasising the transient beauty of nature and deepening the wearer’s connection to their jewellery. Each piece grows and evolves over time, encouraging wearers to nurture their jewellery and fostering a mindful, contemplative lifestyle. This project stands in stark contrast to traditional costume jewellery, promoting a future where beauty and sustainability coexist. Congratulations to Louis for his visionary work! #DesignForPlanet #SustainableDesign #JewelleryInnovation #SlowDesign #OrganicOpulence
