Mutant Matter: Materials and making for our supernatural future
In the book Radical Matter, published earlier this month, design futures agency FranklinTill present a new model of making and material thinking for a sustainable world, examining the maverick ideas and individuals reshaping design, production processes and consumption cycles across the globe. Inspired by the ideas explored in its pages, experimental design collective Dutch Invertuals are collaborating with FranklinTill on Mutant Matter – an exhibition of radical design concepts and investigations into possibilities of our new material future. Showing at Spazio O in Milan’s Isola district from 17-22 April, Mutant Matter showcases the work of 10 Dutch Invertuals designers, each presenting a vision of how the evolution and mutation of materials might be harnessed to bring about a more livable future. | Read more about the project here.
