Normal Phenomena of Life

About Normal Phenomena of Life

Normal Phenomena of Life exists to put biology at the heart of the goods we make, the supply chains we build and the economies we choose to scale. To supplant those industries grown on the promise of limitless petrochemical-powered growth and to honour the fact that nature is the original technology. It does this by bringing together a range of biotech-enabled products – inks made with algae, garments grown and dyed with bacteria and furniture repurposed from waste with the help of ingenious microorganisms – that have the potential to supplant outdated industries and reject the idea that technological progress can’t prioritise soft cells over hard steel. The inaugural collection of NPOL Originals represents only the first flush of fruits from new biotechnologies and interdisciplinary collaborations, born out of knowledge and process sharing between designers, biologists, engineers, materials scientists and other practitioners whose disciplines have yet to be named. Alongside these exclusive products, NPOL supports other creators in the biodesign space by making their products available in capsule collections and exploring their groundbreaking stories in its journal – a space to dive deep into the emergent world of bio design and to reconnect the NPOL readership with new thinking and philosophies on the living world.
