Ten designers developed new uses for sustainably grown and harvested materials to illustrate the life-cycle of materials and the power of conservation and design. The featured designers and places include Yves Behar/Costa Rica; Stephen Burks/Australia; Hella Jongerius/Mexico; Maya Lin/Maine; Christien Meindertsma/Idaho; Isaac Mizrahi/Alaska; Abbott Miller/Bolivia; Ted Muehling/Micronesia; Kate Spade/Bolivia; and Ezri Tarazi/China. On view are the prototypes, drawings, and finished products these designers created. The exhibition is co-curated by r Abbott Miller and Ellen Lupton. This is the debut venue in a national tour of the exhibition, organized by The Nature Conservancy.

The Cooper Hewitt is located in the grand former home of Peter Cooper — and the building itself is worthy of a visit, at 2 East 91st Street New York, NY 10128 | 212.849.8400.
