WHERE DESIGN + MATERIAL AGENCY MEET

ABOUT
Tha Terra

“Bio art, through its multispecies perspective and emphasis on other-than-human agency, offers novel ways of knowing that challenge traditional human-centered knowledge cultures." Jacobs, Devleminck, & Hannes (2023)

Our mission is to pioneer the creation of innovative biomaterials and champion sustainable design practices. We want to shift from classifying materials as ‘natural resources’ but rather ‘co-inhabitants’, establishing a physical relationship with the organisms, body to body, by letting them guide our way of creating. We honor the intrinsic qualities of nature, minimize waste streams, and cultivate a deeper, more meaningful connection between individuals and their environment.

What we do

Honoring the intrinsic qualities of nature, minimizing waste streams, and cultivating a deeper, more meaningful connection between individuals and their environment.

Our design collection embodies the harmonious fusion of creativity and sustainability. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, transforming discarded biomaterials into objects of beauty and functionality. Our designs bring a touch of nature and serenity into any living space, celebrating the unique aesthetic qualities of our materials, allowing their inherent colors and patterns to shine through.
Our studio explores the potential of biomaterials through ongoing research and development. We investigate material agency, multispecies collaboration, and circular economy principles to drive sustainable innovation. We run educational workshops, courses, live talks, events and interviews to tackle the knowledge and skills gap required to transition to more sustainable design and art practices
Cultivating a culture of sustainability. We empower businesses to embrace ecological responsibility, guiding them towards practices that honor the planet and inspire a more conscious future.
