At EcoLattice, innovation is approached as a collaborative process shaped through experimentation, material exploration, and diverse perspectives. 100 Designers, 100 Ideas is an initiative created to bring together emerging and established designers to collectively explore the future of products, materials, and advanced manufacturing.
We are currently selecting 100 designers to collaborate with us on developing innovative products that meaningfully showcase the potential of EcoLattice foams, computational design, additive manufacturing, and digital production systems.
Designing Through Collaboration
The initiative invites designers from varied disciplines to propose original concepts across furniture, interiors, wearable systems, material applications, and spatial design. Each proposal becomes an opportunity to explore how advanced manufacturing and material innovation can influence both form and function.
Rather than operating as a conventional collaboration, the project is structured as a shared development process where designers work alongside the EcoLattice team through prototyping, research, computational workflows, and production support.
From Idea to Public Showcases
The journey extends beyond product development into exhibitions and public engagement. Several collaborations developed through EcoLattice have already been showcased at platforms such as India Design and London Design Week, demonstrating how experimental concepts can evolve into internationally presented outcomes.
Projects include EcoFidget by Ariana Kilachand, a chair exploring circular materiality, and repairable construction through recycled rope joinery. Another collaboration, Corpus Forma directed by Maria Bravo, investigated ergonomics and lattice generated forms inspired by the structure of the spine, creating interactive furniture centered on movement and the human experience.
Building a Collective Future
100 Designers, 100 Ideas reflects EcoLattice’s larger vision of building open and collaborative systems for innovation. More than a product initiative, it is a platform for dialogue, experimentation, and collective creation, bringing together designers, engineers, researchers, and makers to shape new possibilities for future focused design.
