SDGs
Pensiero Materia is a collective of Italian designers united in the mission to make sustainable design through the use of materials of natural origin.
The project was born from the meeting of Luca Alessandrini and HENRY & CO. From this connection comes to life the manifesto of Italian bio-design, four cardinal rules for those who venture into the world of sustainable design: circular economy, reduction of consumption, agri-food chains, and new materials.
