What will the future of design look like and how are biomaterials shaping our interiors? 

Ecovative, a leading biomaterials company growing high performance, premium, award-winning products that are grown using its Mushroom® Materials will team with Danielle Trofe, a Brooklyn-based designer, to discuss their most recent collaborative project using mushroom mycelium. Enjoy a unique conversation about how growing goods may begin to shift our future relationships with interior objects and the built environment. 

Following the talk, stay for a hands-on Grow It Yourselfworkshop that demonstrates how Ecovative’s Mushroom®Materials can be used to create objects from sustainable biomaterials. Instructions on how to create custom forms and tooling, as well as tips and tricks on how to grow a successful GIY project, will be demonstrated. Participants will be invited to create their own planters using Ecovative’s GIY Mushroom® Materials. Participants can then leave with their souvenir planter and watch it grow safely at home. All ages welcome.
