About this talk
Studio Sarmite is a natural materials design and research studio based in Frankfurt, Germany. Lead by Latvian designer Sarmite Polakova, the studio work focuses on transforming industry waste and various byproducts into new high-quality materials that can be brought back to the market. The designer believes that the term “waste” should be seen as a surplus rather than something negative and thus can be turned into a resource for creating something new.
