For us, global reach has never been approached as expansion for its own sake. Each exhibition, collaboration, and partnership has been part of a larger conversation around material innovation, comfort, sustainability, and the future of manufacturing.
What began as a material experiment at Central Saint Martins has since evolved into an international network of collaborations, exhibitions, and research driven engagements across Europe, the Middle East, India, and beyond. Through these platforms, EcoLattice continues to place its work in dialogue with designers, manufacturers, institutions, and industry leaders shaping contemporary design culture.
Beyond Foam and Material Conversations
For the 2025 edition of the London Design Festival, EcoLattice curated Beyond Foam at Aram Gallery, bringing together eight UK based designers to explore alternatives to conventional polyurethane through product experimentation and material application. The exhibition also featured Nina Zenhäusern’s Material Playground, an interactive installation encouraging visitors to physically engage with the material and its structural possibilities.
EcoLattice has also exhibited at Material Matters, a platform dedicated to responsible materials, emerging manufacturing systems, and future focused design thinking. Positioned among global brands, manufacturers, and experimental material practices, the exhibition reinforced EcoLattice’s place within wider conversations around advanced fabrication and sustainable production.
Automotive and Performance Innovation
At Milan Design Week 2025, Toyota Boshoku presented S-CORE, an installation exploring seating comfort and structural behaviour through material variation and construction.
As part of the project, Toyota Boshoku collaborated with four European companies, including EcoLattice, to investigate how different structures influence support and comfort. The collaboration positioned EcoLattice within a highly performance driven context, connecting experimental material systems with one of the world’s most technically demanding seating industries.
Circular Design Conversations
In 2024, EcoLattice expanded the conversation to the Middle East through Dubai Design Week, exhibiting at Design Next, a showcase centred around circular economy driven design and material innovation. Organised by Dubai Design District and Isola Design Group, the platform brought together independent designers, sustainable brands, and emerging design technology practices exploring new approaches to responsible production and material systems.
Positioned alongside alternative building materials, recycled composites, and advanced manufacturing projects, EcoLattice became part of a wider dialogue around circularity, longevity, and future focused material design. The showcase reinforced how conversations around sustainability and material innovation are increasingly global in scale and relevance.
Why Global Reach Matters
For EcoLattice, each showcase becomes a form of validation, where materials and systems are tested through public interaction, industry scrutiny, and real conversations across disciplines.
These collaborations continue to connect EcoLattice with designers, specifiers, researchers, and manufacturers working across industries and scales. More importantly, they allow the material to move beyond prototypes and into the broader ecosystems shaping how future products, interiors, and environments will be designed and experienced.
