Battersea Power Station is an brought back to life as one of the most exciting and innovative mixed use neighbourhoods in the world – a place for locals, tourists and residents to enjoy a unique blend of restaurants, shops, parks and cultural spaces.

Monica Cass is a partner and lead instigator at eco-conscious furniture design business par-avion co. in the East of England, which specialises in handcrafted products using traditional techniques. The primary focus of her company’s designs is to provide a truly sustainable and low-impact end product that doesn’t sacrifice design or quality. Monica assures her company is maintaining its environmental credentials by adapting a design to use local materials and local, culturally-evolved skills, which cut down on carbon footprint and respond directly to the immediate ecosystem. Her designs and finished products reflect a handmade quality that is unique to each piece, while being sensitive to the environment and surrounding landscape.

Claire Potter is the principal at an award-winning sustainable, circular economy design studio based in Brighton, UK. Together with a small team she works to highlight global issues through her designs, ultimately helping her clients create measurable change: from saving tonnes of CO2, positively changing the behaviour of thousands of people across a city, to creating monetary and social value from a waste material. By thinking locally and working globally, Claire has made a substantial impact on “environmental design.”
