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, a global designer and manufacturer of Net Positive 'Living Product Challenge' certified B Corp-certified leader in sustainable innovation. Humanscale 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.
