Open Call: Best Practices of Biobased or Regenerative Design Sought!

How can design contribute to a world that not only harms less, but actively restores?

With the project Building Based on Biobased, Designregio Kortrijk investigates how designers and architects can use biobased and regenerative design for a sustainable future.

As part of this project, we are organising an expo during the WONDER Creativity Festival in Kortrijk (24 October – 3 November 2025), showing inspiring examples of future-oriented design. And for this we are looking for strong realisations or elaborated prototypes.

What are we looking for?

We invite designers, makers and (interior) architects to submit a project that:

• uses bio-based materials (such as hemp, mycelium, bio-resin, flax, bamboo, …),
• and/or adopts a regenerative approach (local, circular, nature-positive, socially sustainable, …).

It can be finished products, objects, installations or prototypes ready to be exhibited.

Why participate?

The selected projects will be exhibited in a carefully curated expo within WONDER, a festival that annually attracts thousands of visitors from the design, manufacturing and construction sectors. It is an opportunity to make your work visible within a growing network of forward-thinking designers and thinkers.

Submission Deadline: 20 June 2025
