What's new in Design + Architecture?

Plastic-free fake fur made from nettle, hemp and flax fibres envelops these special edition bags that Danish fashion brand Ganni has unveiled as part of an exhibition at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Latex can help replace polluting materials such as leather and plastics, according to designers working with the plant-based material.

Beyond Leather has combined leftovers from apple juice and cider production with natural rubber to create a plant-based leather alternative called Leap.
