About this Event

Welcome to the Circular Design Event!


At Vepa, we believe the future of design is circular. Join us for an inspiring event where we share how we are rethinking the way products are created, used, and reimagined.

We’ll be showcasing our latest innovations, including our work with Hemp Carbon—an exciting bio-based material that demonstrates how natural resources can play a key role in sustainable design. Through our approach to circular manufacturing, we aim to minimise waste, extend product lifecycles, and create furniture that is designed with its next life in mind.

We’re also pleased to be joined by our partners:

Lumenear will be showcasing their acoustic and lighting solutions, made from PET felt. PET felt is made from recycled materials and is 100% recyclable after end of life, their eco-friendly production process uses low energy, no wastewater, emissions, waste or adhesive.

Agua Fabrics, who will be showcasing their range of circular fabrics including VerdEco, made from 100% recycled yarn and uses zero watrer in its production. Not to mention it pairs beautifully with Vepa's furniture!.

During the event, we’ll host a series of talks exploring the potential of bio-based materials and the role of circular design in shaping a more responsible and regenerative future. We’ll also share insights into our processes, challenges, and the opportunities we see for the industry moving forward.

Food and refreshments will be available throughout the day, giving you time to relax, connect, and continue the conversation.

This is a chance to connect with us, experience our products up close, and be part of a growing movement towards better design.

What to expect:
• Insights into our circular design and manufacturing approach
• Introduction to bio-based materials, including Hemp Carbon
• Showcase of our latest products and innovations
• Products and contributions from our partners, Lumenear and Agua Fabrics
• Conversations with our team and like-minded attendees

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing what’s next for circular design
