Interior Design Declares Applied

Interior Design Declares x London Design Festival Hosted by Humanscale: Designing for Circularity and Climate Action As part of London Design Festival 2025, Interior Design Declares (IDD) presents a dynamic event highlighting regenerative and circular approaches in interior architecture. The session is hosted by Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance ergonomic products that improve the health and comfort of work life. As a certified B Corporation, Humanscale is recognised for its planet positive manufacturing, they will share how circular design has transformed its development process—from materials and production to disassembly and reuse. This event features three design leaders and a pioneering client: David Chenery and Michelle Pollard-Smith - GAIL’s, Nina Woodcroft, and Erika Suzuki—whose work demonstrates the key actions of the Interior Design Declares Pledge. David Chenery Founder, Object Space Place | IDD Signatory Project: GAIL’s David leads sustainable hospitality design through his studio Object Space Place, using the Restorative Design Framework to embed circularity, reuse, and whole-life carbon thinking in each project. His work with GAIL’s Bakery exemplifies this approach—minimising waste and material use while creating adaptable, low-impact spaces. David is joined by a client from GAIL’s, who will share how sustainability has become core to the brand’s ethos. Together, they demonstrate IDD pledges in action: raising awareness, collaborating across disciplines, and evaluating projects based on environmental impact. - Nina Woodcroft Founder, Nina+Co | BIID Sustainability Award Finalist | IDD Signatory Projects: Silo | Nina’s House Nina integrates regenerative design and ethical sourcing across commercial and residential interiors. Her project Silo — the UK’s first zero-waste restaurant — and her own home — a deep retrofit prioritising natural materials — material transparency, and local making can coexist with refined aesthetics. Nina’s work reflects IDD principles such as: Product sourcing with environmental certification Raising awareness of the climate and biodiversity emergency Advocating for inclusivity, collaboration, and equity. - Erika Suzuki Founding Director, Office Ten Architecture | Architecture Declares Signatory Project: The Greenest House Erika is an architect working at the intersection of climate action and social equity. Her project, The Greenest House, investigates how upgrading existing homes—rather than building new—offers a powerful, low-carbon solution to the housing and climate crises. A signatory of Architecture Declares, Erika’s approach addresses several IDD pledges: • Evaluating whole-life carbon • Demanding transparent, sustainable product sourcing • Promoting diversity and inclusion in practice and impact Interior Design Declares: A Pledge in Practice Interior Design Declares is part of the Built Environment Declares network of declarations, started in 2021, inspired by Architects Declare. Each signatory commits to: • Raising awareness of the climate and biodiversity emergency • Driving regenerative design approaches • Sharing knowledge openly • Evaluating projects using whole-life metrics • Advocating for inclusivity, collaboration, and equity • Demanding transparent, sustainable product sourcing By spotlighting how these pledges are applied in real projects, this event celebrates the designers, clients, and manufacturers who are leading the shift toward a more sustainable built environment—starting now.
