A collective of talented designers and artists looking beyond our industry to create unexpected, emotive, and immersive experiences.
After a successful debut at NeoCon 2023, Haworth is continuing the DesignLab with a new group of designers. Fernando Ramirez and Justin Beitzel from Common Object, Sam Klemick, and Bill Carroll will lend their unique voices, innovative approaches, and a commitment to sustainability through circular design principles. Join us at NeoCon 2024 to see how the DesignLab collective will push beyond the boundaries of traditional furniture design and look forward to a promising future.
Haworth is committed to a sustainable future, from our carbon emission reduction targets to our materials recycling efforts. Circular design philosophy will be a central theme of DesignLab 2024, as we’ve chosen to work with designers who push forward with provocative ideas and new solutions that build stronger communities and help our industry evolve.
