We have organized a Regenerative Design Hub as part of the programming for LA Design Festival, occurring Saturday, June 28th. We’ll be showing off our local yarns and naturally dyed materials, and talking about regenerative agriculture practices. Invited friends include Adobeisnotsoftware, the Altadena Seed Library, Angel City Lumber, Mycelium Matters, IROCOH, and the Great Park Coalition [Regenerative Sustainability Working Group] advocating for the rebuilding and restoring of the Great Park.
Step into the Regenerative Design Hub, a hands-on, multi-sensory experience that reimagines the systems powering architecture, fashion, technology, education, and more—through the lens of regeneration. The Hub brings together natural materials, living systems, and place-based design practices to explore how we can move from extraction to reciprocity.
Get up close with mycelium, soil, adobe, seed banks, reclaimed wood, regional fibers, and climate-conscious innovation—all spotlighting design that gives back more than it takes. Plus, drop in to our Natural Dye Lab to create a take-home painting with color made from local plants and kitchen waste. Tactile. Radical. Rooted in place. This is design for a living future.
