Exploring New Relationship Design at Bangkok Design Week 2024

How can we transform our current economic system into a circular one? We believe that the power of design can make this transition possible.

Meet the winners of the crQlr Awards, who are set to transform the current economic system into a circular economy, creating a Livable Scape focused on sustainability. This initiative aims to support the collective creation of a greener world. Explore the exhibition ‘รุกขภูมิ’ at FabCafe Bangkok, located within the Bangkok Design Week 2024 festival, from January 27th to February 4th, between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

If your company is involved in driving the Circular Economy or wishes to be part of the sustainable leadership community, contact FabCafe Bangkok for more information: kalaya@fabcafe.com

The Bio-Invasive Textile Library is a win-win solution for both ecology and fashion worlds, realized entirely using invasive plants and fashion technology innovations. Its project uses LISI (London’s) invasive plants as raw materials for fibers and dyes to physically prevent the loss of biodiversity in the region and the inhumane treatment of animals.

Its bio-invasive furs are explored to achieve zero waste dyeing and technical production processes. By exploiting the textiles wasted during dyeing and technology development, further develop related ancillary bio-invasive materials. In the technical part, new textiles are created by innovating diverse technologies such as “implanting”, “felting” and “spinning”, providing fashion designers with solutions in the form of “library.”

FOREST SYRUP is the first product of the wood food brand Moku(Shoku)jin co-founded by the Japanese Plant Research Institute and TŌGE.
A new type of beverage distilled from five types of fragrant wood grown in Karuizawa, including fir, red pine, larch, abrachan, and cypress. It is a taste that condenses the refreshing feeling you feel the moment you enter the forest. This product is a syrup type, so you can enjoy it by diluting it with carbonated water, etc. It can also be used for sweets and cooking.
An experiment to try to make the forest edible | Hanareyama, a side volcano with an altitude of 1256m located in Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. This mountain, also known as Table Mountain because of its relatively flat top, has been covered with trees since the Meiji era. ‘Ki (Shokujin)’ is a wood food specialty brand that researches the trees of Karuizawa that are harvested in the process of managing the mountain and transforms them into edible forms. The mental stabilizing effect of “drinking forest bathing” | The fragrant component “phytoncide” contained in trees has a gorgeous, refreshing, and sweet scent like citrus and berries. Research has also shown that it can have a calming effect on the mind. A new type of beverage distilled from freshly picked seasonal fragrant wood, it has a taste that condenses the refreshing feeling you feel the moment you step into the forest.

Poor and dangerous air quality is a worldwide issue. The air purification industry is rife with plastics, glass, and other unsustainable materials. We knew there was a better way to do things and set out to incorporate bioplastics and as many renewable materials as possible in our creation of Briiv. Briiv is officially the world’s most sustainable air filter, made from 90% natural materials, making it nearly entirely biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable. The unit and replacement filters also arrive in biodegradable cardboard packaging making the entire product circular in design.

Briiv is a new take on the air purifier, Briiv utilises renewable and natural materials, filtering your air via an innovative system. Briiv’s filters of moss, coconut and a bespoke nano-matrix effectively remove pollutants from your air. Made of 90% natural materials, smart device compatible, and monitors filter usage.

An Enlichenment: A Vital Recolonization in a Capitalist Crisis Era is an immersive and interactive journey which was presented in IKLECTIK Art Lab, the center of London. This project was informed by the history of the 1952 Great Smog of London and the consequential demise of lichens and its recolonization of the city, linking lichens, urban life, ecological balance, and the indigenous philosophy of “Buen Vivir” (Living Well).
This art installation affects the growth status of digital lichens through detecting real-time data of air quality, it can also present the local environmental status with the growth of lichens based on online data of different areas of the world. It transcends geographical boundaries, offering a comprehensive view of the interconnectedness of pollution and ecological vitality.
For millions of years, Lichens have colonized the planet. They are mini ecosystems where multiple microorganisms (through symbiosis) function as a single sustainable unit mainly comprised of a mutually beneficial collaboration or parasitic relationship between fungi and algae. Its mode of existence sheds light on the harmonious coexistence and interaction between humans and nature.

Moreover, human existence might depend on their survival. They are ideal pollutant bioindicators because of their sensitivity to air pollution. We have noticed lichens in different states of growth in different streets of London, collected the samples in different neighborhoods and observed the lives of the people from those areas. It made us question: “What is living well?”. “Buen Vivir” (sumac kawsay)— a philosophy and social movement that puts “living in harmony with nature and with one another” into practice — is invoked to further rethink our lives. An Enlichenment aims to be not only a bioindicator of capitalist pollutants but also of Buen Vivir (Living Well).
