Biomyc was part of the MELBA DESIGN FESTIVAL as a guest company that had the opportunity to participate in the Sustainable design practices panel – discussion and presentations.

Meet three European companies that are leading an important change in the industry towards greener production and consumption. Combining science, design, and technology, they offer new, more natural models for the use of raw materials.

Studio Komplekt will moderate a discussion on the need for environmentally friendly design, what it means, its impact on the environment and consumers, and some of its economic and social connotations, along with other engaging and pressing topics. With the participation of Shara Kele (Hungary), Josh Brito (founder of MakeGrowLab, Poland), and Atanas Enev (founder of Biomyc, Bulgaria). 

Hungarian designer Shara Kele creates clean and timeless furniture, products, and interiors with a focus on sustainability, upcycling and local raw materials and production. Her experimental, far-sighted approach goes beyond the visual, exploring new materials and production methods.

Josh Brito is one of the founders of the Polish company MakeGrowLab. By merging science with design, MakeGrowLab turns biowaste into natural and compostable materials for the home. They have embraced the ethos of completely circular production with local raw materials, and sustainable materials, inspired by natural processes in nature.
