“Planted, the first design-led events and media platform promoting environmentally-focused brands and businesses, will recreate their stunning off-grid cabin installation on Granary Square, King’s Cross at this year’s London Design Festival.

The nature-inspired cabin, designed by Out of the Valley, will be furnished with beautifully-crafted pieces by award-winning British brand Another Country, Naturalmat’s 100% organic natural bedding materials, decorative lighting by Tala and insulated with Thermafleece’s natural hemp.

An eight-part talks programme led by biophilic design expert Oliver Heath and Planted co-founder Sam Peters, will explore themes around designing buildings and urban spaces for nature, sustainable food systems and unnatural waste associated with packaging, agricultural production and energy consumption.

Alongside the talks programme will be a series of stunning installations including the Waste Bench by Kite Creative, a green roof installation by Sedum Green Roofs and a beautifully designed Planted “insect hotel” created by Green Earth Habitat. The Green Grads exhibition will also be returning to Planted for the second year, showcasing recent UK graduates tackling the world’s most pressing eco-issues. “ Copy from Planted’s website. view more on planted here

GRAIN MAGAZINE

A series of illustrations featured in Grain Magazine.

‘Our Volume III explores the theme of imperfection. As winter wraps the days in its cloak of mist, this issue highlights the beauty of snags, cracks and creaks, because they are the foundation of our humanity and our sensibilities.

A third opus with which we celebrate the trace of the hand on the clay, the imperfect ecological life, the powdery wool, the road trips, the necessary rest.’

MONC | Eyewear

Monc - The Conscious Eyewear Company

‘The Source’ - Commissioned to create a series of illustrations to communicate the natural materials used in-store.

Brief - ‘The key message to this pop up is circularity and regeneration. This was the core principle and focus ahead of starting the design process and this needs to be communicated through the messages, icons and overall communication across all channels.

The store is designed and built using upcycled and bio-based materials, each intended for its sourcing and circularity. We would like to strip each material back to its original source and represent that through our communication.
