// From engineering to design, from the first law of thermodynamics to mycelium. Maurizio Montalti, co-founder and Chief Mycelium Officer at SQIM / MOGU / Ephea, and a pioneer of regenerative design, has transformed his early curiosities into innovative scientific inquiries and a groundbreaking production paradigm. His journey unfolds at the intersection of biology, design, and technology, harnessing the power of fungi and microorganisms to create sustainable materials. From early lab experiments to founding companies like Officina Corpuscoli (NL) and SQIM (IT), Montalti demonstrates that the future of industry lies in regeneration—turning waste and low-value materials into valuable resources, thanks to active partnerships with non-human agents – thus, reimagining our relationship with the world we are inherently part of. A compelling exploration that dissolves the boundaries between nature and production, envisioning a continued progression towards a future where materials grow rather than being extracted, and sustainability becomes the new norm. Read the full article to discover how vision turns into reality, how regenerative design is increasingly shaping our everyday, and why this ever-evolving field could entirely redefine the way we create and consume. >> https://lnkd.in/dTAXYqMh FLA Plus
