Why we created A Guide to Symbiocene Design with our partners @gooddesignaus & @vertdesignstudio:

→ Design must reconcile human needs & desires with planetary limits not treat them as separate.

→ To do this a shift is needed from dominating nature to partnering it.

→ Symbiocene design is life-centred design, widening the lens to include nature’s systems and future generations.

→ Symbiosis is the foundation, all life is interconnected and relies on mutually beneficial relationships.

→ Symbiocene design moves beyond harm reduction to create net-positive outcomes for all life.

Hip-healthy baby floor and booster seat by @hip_and_co

Founder Bree created hip & co after her first child was diagnosed with hip dysplasia - an under-recognised condition that affects around 1 in 10 babies with hip instability, with around 1 in 100 requiring treatment.

Through this experience, Bree discovered there were no suitable local products designed to properly support healthy hip positioning - only DIY solutions and a limited number of options overseas.

We worked closely with Bree to design a seat suitable for babies undergoing treatment for hip dysplasia, as well as those simply needing better hip support.

The design process included in-depth research, concept development across form and key features, collaboration with experts, extensive prototyping, user testing, and optimisation for manufacturing.

We’re excited to share something that can be truly world-changing.

A Guide to Symbiocene Design is available now (link in bio).

It’s a practical approach to reconcile human needs & desires with the wellbeing of all life.

The guide supports the spectrum of design - built environment, industrial design, policy, digital, service & systems innovation - to think & act in partnership with the natural world.

Developed with @gooddesignaus & @vertdesignstudio & guided by architect of the Symbiocene Glenn Albrecht, it brings together guiding principles, examples from around the world & practical prompts to shape a future where all life can thrive.

Coastal Stone Whiskey Bottle for @manlyspirits ‘Element Series’

The design emphasises the origin of the distillery and its unique location.

Verts experience and knowledge in glass production resulted in a bottle form that combines the classic visual language of a whiskey bottle with a highly complex sculpted surface.

Taking inspiration from gradual erosion patterns of coastal sandstone, organic undulations were projected onto the bottle surface. The result is an asymmetric bottle form with highly tactile features.

Careful consideration was given to the sculpting techniques alongside technical details such as the neck finish, bottle parting line, and annealing ring.

Magnetite - a luggage system designed for modern travellers, allowing multiple bags to move together as one.

It was great working with founder Rod Lederer to bring this concept to life.

At the core of the design is an intuitive magnetic coupling and release mechanism that connects bags quickly and easily - without the need for precise alignment.

This patented system can be integrated into existing bag ranges or adapted for future luggage concepts.
