Auckland Design Week: Redefining Beauty Through Sustainable Innovation and Emerging Technology

Join us for breakfast canapes, Italian cocktails or barista coffee and thought provoking discussion on Friday 7th March.

Auckland Design Week is coming – and to mark the occasion Harrows are hosting a panel discussion in our Auckland Experience Centre. Attendance is free and registration via the ADW website is essential.

Friday March 7th  |  8am – 10am  |  Harrows Auckland Experience Centre, 147 Newton Road, Eden Terrace

Redefining Beauty Through Sustainable Innovation and Emerging Technology – Delving into the innovative use of emerging technologies and cutting edge materials to drive sustainable design, and the creation of a circular economy.

Andrea Rossetto, head of APAC from global design brand Arper will be presenting Catifa Carta, featuring a shell made from a revolutionary material composed of 100% biogenic wood by-products. PaperShell not only enhances the chair’s aesthetic appeal but also dramatically reduces its environmental footprint. Through advanced material science, this innovative material acts like a tree, sequestering carbon dioxide during its life cycle. At the end of its life, PaperShell can be reduced to biochar, successfully retaining the carbon sequestered during its previous life phases, setting a new benchmark for eco-conscious design.

Joining the panel is Louise Nash. Founder and CEO of Circularity, New Zealand’s leading circular design consultancy, dedicated to redesigning the future of business. Her philosophy is simple—work with nature, not against it. By embedding circular principles into business strategies, she is unlocking new value while solving environmental challenges. Today, Circularity is expanding globally, pioneering circular systems that redefine how industries operate for a regenerative future.

Attendance is free and registration via the ADW website is essential.
