Biofab Fair—Biodesign conversations and showcase

Curated Innovation & Showcase Explore an immersive exhibition showcasing cutting-edge biomaterials—from mushroom-grown leather and fermented protein textiles, to algae-based polymers and bacteria-based pigments. Innovations on display offer a hands-on entry into a biological material palette that challenges extractive norms—and expands the boundaries of design. Stage Themes That Propel Design Forward Over two days, the stage brings together leading designers, scientists, and biofounders to debate the future of form, function, and storytelling in biodesign—alongside the cultural shifts, resources, and untapped biological frontiers shaping its evolution. Day One explores: COLOR + TEXTURE: Product design and manufacture with novel biomaterials and living hues FORM + FUNCTION: Leveraging nature’s building blocks from nano to macro—for design innovation STORYTELLING: Crafting bio-narratives that translate bioinnovation into compelling brand futures Day Two covers further vital questions: WILD vs ENGINEERED: How do we balance discovery and design with control and conservation? CULTURED CONTEXTS: How do we equip future creatives, building inclusive systems that ensure equitable access? EVOLVING WITH AI: When algorithms accelerate biology, how do we ensure innovation is accountable? For Brands, Creatives & Innovators If you lead design research, sustainability programs, or material sourcing at a forward-thinking brand—this is where strategy meets possibility. Meet the people growing the future of fashion, furniture, architecture, mobility, and beauty—not just as theory, but in prototypes, partnerships, and production-ready concepts. Biofab Fair is a manifesto. It fuses biology, design intelligence, and planetary health in one unforgettable experience. Join us this September in London, and become part of the movement redefining how, and what, we make.
