A collective of talented designers and artists looked beyond our industry to create unexpected, emotive, and immersive experiences.
After a successful debut at NeoCon 2023, Haworth continued DesignLab with a new group of designers. Fernando Ramirez and Justin Beitzel from Common Object, Sam Klemick, and Bill Carroll lent their unique voices, innovative approaches, and a commitment to sustainability through circular design principles.
Haworth is committed to a sustainable future, from our carbon emission reduction targets to our materials recycling efforts. Circular design philosophy was a central theme of DesignLab 2024, as we worked with designers who push forward with provocative ideas and new solutions that build stronger communities and help our industry evolve.
