About this talk

Interior architect Susanne Bakkenist, a partner in the new co-operative Oboros, leads an interactive session on collaboration in circular design. Oboros combines expertise in design, project realization, and process guidance to make circular projects accessible and achievable. Suzanne shares insights from her collaborative experiences and explains how circular opportunities are leveraged. The session encourages participants to discuss challenges faced in adopting circular thinking, design, and practices. The goal is to find solutions and further develop sustainable approaches together. Suzanne’s studio, REST, focuses on spatial design by reusing and valuing existing elements like buildings, materials, and furniture, using minimalist and sustainable methods.
