Healthy Materials Lab x ICFF

At ICFF 2026, we’re introducing a new Materials section within The OASIS, created in partnership with Healthy Materials Lab. This dynamic showcase brings together leaders in healthy, climate-positive design to explore emerging bio-based materials, safer alternatives, and forward-thinking production methods. Through a series of interactive workshops and hands-on experiences, we invite attendees to engage directly with these innovations and discover practical ways to apply them in their work. Sponsored by Cosentino, Duracryl, Habitat Matter, and Hydro.
