Installations included Planted from Danish textile designer Tanja Kirst, which asked the simple question: can oranges, seaweed and hemp be transformed into textiles without compromising aesthetics? Meanwhile, the fair\u2019s Designer of the Year was Pearson Lloyd. Its installation looked at its material choices in a \ufb01stful of recent projects and the increased importance of circularity in its work.

On the third \ufb02oor, Isola, the Milan-based design platform, hosted a new exhibition, Nothing Happens if Nothing Happens, which featured emerging designers using regenerative resources and repurposing waste materials.
