Sexy Biomaterials, Shared Consequences | Tech & Design Meetup
Kazerne - Downtown Eindhoven, Paradijslaan 8, Eindhoven, NLSexy Biomaterials, Shared Consequences
What if sustainable materials didn’t have to behave — but could seduce?
Biomaterials are increasingly alive, expressive and emotionally engaging. They are grown, cultivated and cared for — not just designed and deployed. And when materials are alive, beauty and desire suddenly matter in new ways.
At this EHV Innovation Café meetup, we explore how desire shapes behaviour — and how behaviour shapes systems. When does attraction become a catalyst for sustainable change? And what happens when biomaterials move beyond the lab and into everyday life?Special Guests
Beatriz Sandini & Alessia Pasquini (Materia Futura) — on designing biomaterials that are sensorial, seductive and deeply connected to craft and living systems.Sam Edens (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) — on working with biomaterials as living relationships rather than technical solutions.
Expect bold insights, honest reflections and an open conversation with the audience.
Whether you work in design, tech, education, policy — or are simply curious — you’re very welcome.
