Major project:
WEFOREST.IT
Enabling people to plant trees
Planting new forests is necessary to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and prevent further biodiversity loss. WEFOREST.IT provides opportunities for people to invest in the planting of trees. Together we build a longterm and positive relationship between people and forests.

Residue Enabled Design / Red Mud Project
Red Mud is a byproduct of the aluminium industry. Over 150 million tonnes are produced each year, and left unused in giant lakes.
Working closely with factories across Europe, material scientists, and ceramicists, the designers made a series of surprising tableware pieces and structural elements, which hint to the potential of this material.
Collaboration between Joris Olde Rikkert, Kevin Rouff, Guillermo Whittembury, and Luis Paco Bockelmann
Joris' work is featured on Dezeen, Designboom, FastCompany, and exhibited in Tokyo, Venice, London, among others.
