We are a climate responsive design house creating functional home goods that purify air and regulate indoor climate, driven by materials research.

Our lab explores how algae and biopolymers can replace glass, stone, and plastic in household objects, using cold-processing methods and regenerative materials that are safe to use and easy to make, even in a kitchen. We serve people of many backgrounds by offering both accessible home formulas and high-end pieces.

No heat, no electricity, no toxins. Each object responds to air, light, and temperature, drawing inspiration from natural systems rather than electronics.

We're eliminating pollution at every step by avoiding:

✧ Noise ~ loud machinery and industrial processes
✧ Air pollution ~ toxic off-gassing and combustion emissions
✧ Chemical toxins ~ VOCs, plastics, and harmful additives
✧ Energy waste ~ fossil-fueled manufacturing and electricity use
✧ Material waste ~ non-biodegradable products and landfill overflow
✧ Transport emissions ~ global shipping of heavy stone, glass, and plastic
