Open Call: Design Matters Lab

Calling product and material designers! 

By 2030, the World Bank predicts a staggering 2.01 billion tons of waste annually – a mountain fueled by unsustainable consumerism. But what if we could rewrite the industry?

Design Matters Lab is on a mission to disrupt industrialization. In doing so, product and material-related designers from Indonesia and Europe are invited to team up with micro-factories and co-create groundbreaking solutions by utilizing alternative materials, creating meaningful products, and enhancing sustainable production systems.

Turn your vision into reality through an immersive 10-month program: online workshops, on-site residencies, and market-testing activities to refine your ideas. Get ready to launch innovative products with global impact!
