"In a “previous life”, I was working with natural fibers to devise artefacts using techniques of paper-making and such, to show the processes of structuring, aging and evolving of matter, and the emotional effect the remnants of these processes can have on the viewer/observer.

KIND WORDS

The first thing that stood out for me in the Regenerate Trend Book is the fact that it featured several inspiring projects using algae or bacteria to generate structure or patterns, functions or atmosphere for the human environment. That touched something dear to me: what are the various ways we can subtly bring nature morepeople, in their direct environment, and in qualitative, immersive and emotional fashion. I can see now how this trend really helps anchor a different aesthetic.

Furthermore, this trend book helped me shift to a more layered way of envisioning the “biophilic” trend, from something exclusively related to ecological matters, to something that goes way beyond the mind in how deep it can affect us: tactility. I found out how tactility, confers a higher, more encompassing and more qualitative aesthetic to the designed objects and environments; that aspect definitely allowed me to conceptually bridge (which I wasn’t sure was possible) my early experiments with fibers, with what I can include now in more integrated designs.

I recommend the Regeneration Trend Book to any designer who wants to understand how to reconcile various sensibilities into one coherent and multilayered framework that would help drive their creative and innovative spirit in even bolder directions."
