BBoBB - “Echoes of the earth”

If you look closely, you’ll see it: nature is a silent magician. It weaves, shapes, creates, and reuses without waste, for millions of years.

In this exhibition, we present makers and companies following in its footsteps. Imagine a world where we build and create using what grows in nature: chairs made from fungal threads, packaging from algae, walls reinforced with flax. All crafted from living materials that breathe, decay, and come to life again.

This exhibition is about bio-based and regenerative design: creating with materials of biological origin that do not harm the environment but instead help restore it.

Is the future bio-based?
