On May 22-23, Circular Republic will hold their annual festival at the Munich Urban Colab, in Munich, Germany. The event for circular economy innovation celebrates its second edition by the motto "build your competitive advantage" and brings together all visionaries to accelerate the circular transformation across all industries.
Studio Nima will curate the Materials Lab, a biomaterial exhibition within the event showcasing innovative biomaterials in a tangible and creative way, exhibiting the complete life cycle and development journey of the materials. The goal is to inspire and inform stakeholders by showcasing existing circular innovations, sparking discussions, and providing impulses that drive the exploration of biomaterial possibilities.
MushLume Lighting will showcase pendant lamps grown from hemp and mycelium alongside a select group of international biodesign brands and innovators using novel materials and production techniques at scale across industries. Materials such as bio-based polymers, biodegradable yarn and textiles, and plant-based leather alternatives will be featured, highlighting the progression from raw components through intermediary stages to the final refined material. The participants of the summit can touch and feel these innovative materials and get inspired by a range of materials made of agricultural waste, mycelium, algae, banana leaves and many more.
