mebl | Transforming Furniture, Laurence Carr and Plia / Circular and Regenerative Interiors: What Does that Really Mean?

11/16/2021
1:00 pm - 1:45 pm
Virtual

Curious about circularity and regenerative design, but struggling to understand?

Looking to embrace a new level of sustainability, but unsure where to start?

Interest in applying principles of the circular economy to 21st-century furniture and interior design is fast gaining steam — but what does that really look like in practice?  In furniture and textiles, how do tenets such as ‘regenerative’ and ‘designing out waste’ foster beauty, versatility, functionality and elegance – without trade-offs?

Join us for a brief, deep virtual dive into a modern approach to design with the power to transform the industry’s effect on the environment!

This session will feature interviews with NYC-based regenerative design experts, Laurence Carr of Laurence Carr Inc, and Jessica Corr of Plia, moderated by Michael Hirschhorn of mebl | Transforming Furniture. This event is co-sponsored by mebl | Transforming Furniture and Laurence Carr, Inc, in conjunction with the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
