Haeckels x London Craft Week 2024
Group exhibition; EARTHING: A crafted ecological experience through bio-based materials by Haeckels for London Craft Week 2024. Haeckels reimagined the home as a space for environmental reflection, facilitating dialogues around hopeful futures.
Eleven artists and designers were assembled through a multi-sensory exhibition combining scent, space and sound to showcase a collection of alternative works. Their making processes, bio-sourced and blended with craftsmanship aimed to examine eco-systems and challenge environmental impact on earth — from which everything is born and everything returns.
An audio piece written and narrated by Why Materials Matter author and materials translator Seetal Solanki guided visitors around Haeckels House, delving into how these materials are shaping craft, design, art, people, and the planet.

Narratives of preserving, co-creating, unearthing, recovering, mining, repairing, foraging, recontextualising, reacquainting, and weaving were shared. Visitors were encouraged to share their thoughts and learnings to continue the conversation.
