Our director Oliver recently visited the More than Human exhibition, open at London’s Design Museum (until the 5 October 2025), and found numerous examples that brought our Life Centred Design guide to life in an engaging and vibrant way.
More than Human aims to redefine our thinking on “design” by centring its focus on how it can support non-human life. Featuring 140 works by over 50 contributors, the exhibition is organised into 3 key sections:
• Being Landscape: explores our historical and indigenous interconnectedness with nature.
• Making with the World: presents design as a tool for ecological restoration.
• Shifting Perspectives: encourages viewers to see the world through non-human eyes.
The exhibition weaves together art, architecture, and design that spans cultural traditions and cutting-edge ecological interventions. From mural-scale river narratives and insect-friendly pavilions to tapestry woven from a pollinator’s view and sculpted seaweed installations.
The show invites us to imagine design not as human-dominant but as collaborative with ecosystems one that we feel aligns with our approach to Biophilic Design. More than Human challenges conventional aesthetics and ethics, urging empathy, sustainability, and multispecies flourishing. It expands our understanding of the scale and values by which we traditionally approach design, and gaze into an innovative yet accessible future which enables all life to flourish.
