#HTE

“Renew Me” is a design show about energy & the environment.

It feels like there is an unlimited supply of electricity, food, & materials available at our fingertips. If we continue consumption at this rate, what does the future hold? Imagine society 100 years from now, when natural resources have been depleted and there is a boom of sustainable inventions. We challenged designers to choose a topic that they’re passionate about & address the issue.

May 10-12, Usagi Gallery in Brooklyn, NY

RSVP here for the opening party on May 10th. Tickets are free.

Friday, 6-10PM
Saturday, 10-6PM
Sunday, 10-4PM

The show features 26 thought-provoking creations by designers & entrepreneurs across the country. The exhibited work ranges from market-ready products to futuristic product concepts.

“Grouphug was founded out of the belief that designers can and should use their creativity to address important societal issues. We don’t need another line of high-end chairs— we need creative solutions to complex problems that affect billions of people every day.”

- Krystal Persaud, Founder of Grouphug.
